Live Each Day Like It's Your Last,

[on His Heroin Addiction:] I Did It To Myself. It Wasn't Society...it Wasn't A Pusher, It Wasn't Being Blind Or Being Black Or Being Poor. It Was All My Doing.

I Sing What I Sing True. Each Night I Sing It The Way I Feel That Night.

I Never Wanted To Be Famous. I Only Wanted To Be Great.

There's Such A Thing As Too Much Happiness And Sadness. What I'm After Is Contentment.

My Mom Taught Me A Lot. A Lot About Minding Your Own Business And Leaving Other People's Business Alone. And Let Them Think What They Want.
