“Anger destroys your soul.”

Music is one of the closest link-ups with God that we can probably experience. I think it’s a common vibrating tone of the musical notes that holds all life together.

I am not going to be dictated to by fans, certainly. I am dictated enough to by my record company to last me a million years.

To share is precious, pure and fair. Don’t play with something you should cherish for life. Don’t you wanna care, ain’t it lonely out there?

Great artists suffer for the people.

Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more, but each hurt makes my love stronger than before.

If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.

Who are they to judge us, simply because our hair is long?

I don’t make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don’t today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time.

Crime is increasing, trigger happy policing. Panic is spreading, God knows where we’re heading.

Sexual healing is good for me.

Art is a way of possessing destiny.

Natural fact is, I can’t pay my taxes. Make me wanna holler and throw up on my hands.

Don’t play with something you should cherish for life.

I want to stop and thank you baby, how sweet it is to be loved by you.

What about this overcrowded land/How much more abuse from man can she stand?
