As I laid in the hospital bed I started thinking that I had a show to do. I was hoping the Doctor would put me together so I could do the show.

BEN VEREENLive stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There’s nothing like a live audience.
BEN VEREENAt the end of the day, give up your worries and give thanks for the journey.
BEN VEREENYou’ve got to make haste while it’s still light of day. My godmother used to say, I don’t want to rust out, I just want to work out. If you stand still long enough, people will throw dirt on you.
BEN VEREENThe death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.
BEN VEREENPeople talk about love and it seems like a cliche but it’s a real thing – the more love we spread around the world the more it’s going to change lives.
BEN VEREENSometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, its a quiet thing. At least for me it was.
BEN VEREENNine years after I had my own accident, I find that in trying to go back to doing those things that I used to do just doesn’t fit. Everything seems to just fall apart. I don’t know why but I think it is because I am this new creature.
BEN VEREENIf we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you’ll get good things back. That’s part of our responsibility as entertainers.
BEN VEREENIve been blessed to be in a position to share (my experiences).
BEN VEREENWhen people come and see my show, I try to infuse into them that they can walk away feeling like their lives are a victory.
BEN VEREENYou’ve got to make haste while it’s still light of day.

BEN VEREENI used to dance, but now I only move.
