Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes.

I kept quiet for eight years. I did not want to hurt the church.

My first quote was, I don't want to hurt God's people. Jim Bakker's quote was, I was set up by a female.

At that time I was making the largest salary known on television and I didn't want to see it die because those were the years paying off when I wasn't making anything.

There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.

95% of the album is my writing, by choice, because it seems to be what the distributors want.

HAG Records, is a company that I've owned. I've had a couple of gospel releases on it. We developed a pretty good distribution setup there and we do have something to use in case they don't want to sign us.

It's easier to force feed people than it is to give 'em what they want. It makes more money.

Well, I'm kinda like George Carlin. I think that there ought to be a time where everybody should have all the drugs they want and there'd be nobody in charge, sort of like... now!

If you want a bourgeois existence, you shouldn't be an actor. You're in the wrong profession.

I was traveling on our tour bus through Europe and I was thinking I want to have long blonde hair.

I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.

I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.

If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.

I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. And not thinking about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they'll become a great musician.
