In many ways an artist is his work. It’s difficult to separate the two. I think I can be brutally objective about my work as I create it, and if something doesn’t work, I can feel it, but when I turn in a finished album — or song — you can be sure that I’ve...

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

When you’re strong and good, then you’re Bad.

When they say the sky’s the limit to me that’s really true

Look beyond yourself..

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

When I step out on stage in front of thousands of people, I don’t feel that I’m being brave. It can take much more courage to express true feelings to one person. […] In spite of the risks, the courage to be honest and intimate opens the way to self-discovery. It offers what we all...

All of us are products of our childhood.

Well Brooke, I’ve always liked her, and when I was little I used to stay with Diana Ross, me and my brothers stayed with her for years and I never said, but I always had a crush on her.

My mother’s wonderful. To me she’s perfection.

The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we’re a show business family and we all work.

Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It’s not nice.

Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.

Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And – and we have bus loads of kids, who don’t get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That’s why I love them so much. That’s what I see.

Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I’m crazy about her.

Just because it’s in print doesn’t mean it’s the gospel.

Why can’t you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. It’s very charming. It’s very sweet. It’s what the whole world should do.

You know, let’s put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn’t be a person left in town.

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There’s a movie theater.

And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I’d see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.

They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I – I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

But I will never stop helping and loving people the way Jesus said to.

It’s a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It’s not the truth I’m here to say. You know, don’t judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don’t care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie.

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

I remember going swimming as a child and making a wish before I jumped into the pool. […] I’d stretch my arms out, as if I were sending my thoughts right into space. I’d make my wish, then I’d dive into the water. I’d say to myself, “This is my dream. This is my wish,”...

Human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink – it is also comprised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiselled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche.

I’m starting with the man in the mirror,I’m asking him to change his ways;And no message could have been any clearer,If you wanna make the world a better place,Take a look at yourself, and then make a change!

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

My attitude is if fashion says it’s forbidden, I’m going to do it.

In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.

Whenever I saw a sunset, I would quietly make my secret wish right before the sun tucked under the western horizon and disappeared. It would seem as if the sun had taken my wish with it. I’d make it right before the last speck of light vanished.

I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.

I just wish I could understand my father.

I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.

I don’t understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?

I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it’s something that I cannot help, OK?

The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.

I’m just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

I believe we are powerful, but we don’t use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.

Often people just don’t see what I see. They have too much doubt. You can’t do your best when you’re doubting yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?

We have to heal our wounded world. The chaos, despair, and senseless destruction we see today are a result of the alienation that people feel from each other and their environment.

How many victims must that be? Slaughtered in vain across the land,And how many strugles must that be?Before we choose to live the profits planEverybody sing- Every day create your History,Every path you take you’re leaving your legacyEvery soldier dies in his gloryEvery legend tells of conquest and liberty.

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

And that’s what innocence is. It’s simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never...

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.

I’m never pleased with anything, I’m a perfectionist, it’s part of who I am.

I’m happy to be alive, I’m happy to be who I am.
