strong thinking rocks
James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and Little Richard - I think they had strong influences on a lot of people, because these were the guys who really got rock'n'roll going. I like to start with the origin of things, because once it gets along it changes. It's so interesting to see how it really was in the beginning.
stars children talking
I love Elizabeth Taylor. I'm inspired by her bravery. She has been through so much and she is a survivor. That lady has been through a lot and she's walked out of it on two feet. I identify with her very strongly because of our experiences as child stars. When we first started talking on the phone, she told me she felt as if she had known me for years. I felt the same way.
silence emotion speak
Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.
soul matter said
Somebody once said it's the SOUL that matters
heart thinking soul
You try to be as original as you can be without thinking about statistics. You just go from the soul and from the heart.
artist imagination tools
An artist’s imagination is his greatest tool
artist careers heaven
I have been the artist with the longest career, and I am so proud and honored to be chosen from heaven to be invincible.
hate hate-me break
Beat me, hate me, you can never break me.
believe get-better old-saying
I believe in doing better work. Just like the old saying, 'You don't get older, you get better'.
children want
Children are the only ones who don't want anything of me.
real cities cartoon
I'm a collector of cartoons. All the Disney stuff, Bugs Bunny, the old MGM ones. It's real escapism, it's like everything's alright. It's like the world is happening now in a far away city. Everything's fine.
cute real snow
I love Switzerland. It's so clean and cool. We don't get much snow where I live so I get real excited in Lausanne and Geneva. I'd like to buy a house there when I'm older and settle down. It's all so cute that it looks like a movie set.
powerful offering people
Pierre Bordieu was right: "The all powerful is he who does not wait but makes others wait. Absolute power is the power to make oneself unpredictable and deny other people any reasonable anticipation, to place them in total uncertainty by offering no scope for their capacity to predict."
sex thinking use
Needless to say, I love the interaction between the sexes; it is a natural part of life and I love women. I just think that when sex is used as a form of blackmail or power, it's a repugnant use of one of God's gifts.
