I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.
I'm no angel if that's what you thought you found. I was just the victim of a man that let me down.
Daddy worked for God, but asked for no pay. For he believed that God provides a way.
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
They let you dream just to watch them shatter, you're just a step on the boss man's ladder.
I'm just a person; I like to experience whatever the feeling is and whatever I'm going through.
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens.
Islands in the streams, that is what we are.
I write a little something every day, even though I don't write a song [every day]. Everything inspires me. I'll come up with a line, or somebody will say something that will trigger something.
You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.
Paradise is a state of mind.
The freewill you have given, we have made a mockery of.
We can't all be stars; we can't all be leaders. We are all God's creatures, living life, and we have that God light in us and we're supposed to let it shine. And not everybody wants to be like me and stick their neck out to get up on stage and perform. There are those like me, but there are also those that are of a shyer nature. And they're smarter than most of us that are out there showing our asses.
