There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.

It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.

It's one of my favorite things to do, watch TV and stretch. I'm so flexible. I can put my legs behind my head. I want to be the most flexible person in the world.

Even if I don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. When you write a song, it gives it that potential.

I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record.

There's so many wonderful gospel people out there, and I don't necessarily want to compete with those people.

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.

Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.

Things got so bad that when I went shopping for a house, some people would refuse to open the door if they saw it was me standing there. And drunks would always want to challenge me.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

You want to shut up every Negro who has the courage to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, for the rights of workers, and I have been on many a picket line for the steelworkers too.

It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-biased media and the homosexuals who want to destroy all Christians.

It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!
