I Had To Pawn My Clothes Just

I Was Born With Music Inside Me. Music Was One Of My Parts. Like My Ribs, My Kidneys, My Liver, My Heart. Like My Blood. It Was A Force Already Within Me When I Arrived On The Scene. It Was A Necessity For Me-like Food Or Water.

Even Though I'm Not Jewish...israel Is One Of The Few Causes I Feel Good About Supporting.

I Can't Help What I Sound Like. What I Sound Like Is What I Am. You Know? I Cannot Be Anything Other That What I Am.

I Never Considered Myself Part Of Rock 'n' Roll. My Stuff Was More Adult. It Was More Difficult For Teenagers To Relate To; My Stuff Was Filled With More Despair Than Anything You'd Associate With Rock 'n' Roll. Since I Couldn't See People Dancing, I Didn't Write Jitterbugs Or Twists. I Wrote Rhythms That Moved Me. My Style Requires Pure Heart Singing.

You Ask Me What I'd Like To Do That I Haven't Done And I Say 'nothin'!' I Haven't Any Mountains To Climb Or Oceans To Swim. I've Been An Extremely Blessed Individual. ... I'm Not Clamorin' For More Trinkets. If I Were To Die Tomorrow, I Could Say I've Had A Good Life.
