Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star.
There is a very real relationship, both quantitatively and qualitatively, between what you contribute and what you get out of this world.
I'm not going to run, I'm going to stand here and watch. Every blow will cut into my heart, and tell me who and what you are.
A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!

Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?
I listen to the radio and I like all kinds of music, you know, but I like to hear from people who have been there. Hank Williams has been there.

I got a chance to work with Miles Davis, and that changed everything for me, 'cause Miles really encouraged all his musicians to reach beyond what they know, go into unknown territory and explore. It's made a difference to me and the decisions that I've made over the years about how to approach a project in this music.
