Politics and hypocrites is turning us all into lunatics.
I'd been studying the microphone for a dozen years, and I suddenly saw what I'd been doing wrong. I'd been singing too loud. One night I was listening to a record by Lester Young, the horn player, and it came to me. Relax, just relax. It's all going to be all right.
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more, but each hurt makes my love stronger than before.
Don't play with something you should cherish for life...
Art is a way of possessing destiny.
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?

If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
An artist, if he is truly an artist, is only interested in one thing and that is to wake up the minds of men, to have mankind and womankind realize that there is something greater than what we see on the surface.
