At the Muddy Waters thing, I PLAYED the first song by myself on an ACOUSTIC GUITAR. I THOUGHT that was great that y'all did that tribute to Muddy Waters. I had a real good time.

Originally the dream was about TRAVELING and developing a job that would permit me to TRAVEL. And I DECIDED to go into street PERFORMING because it was a traveling job; it would let me go around the WORLD.

I was able to walk at 5. I had to be able to walk in order to be mainstreamed into PUBLIC school. And my FATHER worked day and NIGHT to teach me how to walk. And I think what's so amazing about this is the fact that he was told that I would never walk. And he decided that he was GOING to TRY.

I THINK at the end of the DAY you have to find a balance with what's REALLY important.

If the JURY have no right to judge of the justice of a LAW of the government, they plainly can do nothing to PROTECT the people against the oppressions of the government; for there are no oppressions which the government may not authorize by law.

If the auto plants in Detroit would just SIT AROUND the table and say, 'What do we gotta do to make this THING work?' Instead of, 'I WANT this and I want that.' They might make it.

I SEE the BEAUTY in boxing. It TEACHES me STRENGTH PHYSICALLY, but mostly mentally. I had to learn my strength, because for so long I could have been tougher than I was.

I LOVE ART and FASHION.
