"I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water."
"Music to me is like breathing. I don't get tired of breathing, I don't get tired of music."
"Just because you can't see anything , doesn't mean you should shut your eyes."
"Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap."
"Affluence separates people. Poverty knits 'em together. You got some sugar and I don't; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I'll give you some of mine."
