I am a man of simple pleasures. The best suits me perfectly.
Since I was three I've been playing the piano. I've been onstage. My mother is an Evangelist and I used to play the piano at her revival meetings.
I feel what they feel. And people who listen to me know that, and it makes them feel like they're not alone.
I was always a politician from the day the civil rights people chose me as their protest singer.
It doesn't matter to me what is going on today because my music encompasses every kind of mood that exists in human beings. That's my stick.
It's time to take a look at my failures and stop calling them successes. Now I can start working at something that can use me best.
I'm a real rebel with a cause.
I seek in books only to give myself pleasure by honest amusement; or if I study, I seek only the learning that treats of the knowledge of myself and instructs me in how to die well and live well.
Then came the healing time, hearts started to shine, soul felt so fine, oh what a freeing time it was.
I'm always doing something new. I took a fencing class - that was awesome. And I do a lot of my own athletic work or stunts.
I can always, quite easily, put myself in other people's shoes, so to speak, and look at the world through them.
