Some miners would have 20 pints after a hard day in the mine. Now that we sit behind computers all day, this is down to 18 or 19 pints.

I wake up from dreams and go, Wow, put this down on paper. The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face.

I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper.' The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. ... I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses. ... 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.

My heart and prayers go out to every individual

There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day, but there's no Children's Day. It would mean a lot. World peace.

I do think that marriage can be a wonderful thing if it's the right thing for the two people involved. I believe in love - very much so - how can you not believe after you've experienced it? I believe in relationships. One day, I know I'll find the right woman and get married myself.

Just because you read it in a magazine or see it on a TV screen doesn't make it factual. To buy it is to feed it.

You ain't seen nothing yet, and the best is yet to come.

Don't you believe what you read.

I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively,

We are the world, we are the children...

We look high and low for God, but somehow He's not there. So we blame Him and tell ourselves that He must have forgotten us. Or else we decide that He left us long ago, if He was ever around." "How strange," the little fish said, "to miss what is everywhere." "Very strange," the old whale agreed. "Doesn't it remind you of fish who say they're thirsty?

Tell the angels no, I don’t wanna leave my baby alone I don’t want nobody else to hold you That’s a chance I’ll take Baby I’ll stay, Heaven can wait No, if the angels took me from this earth I would tell them bring me back to her It’s a chance I’ll take, maybe I’ll stay Heaven can wait

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

Stop this agony of wishing Play it out Don't think, don't hesitate Curving back within yourself Just create... Just create

I fast every Sunday. I don’t eat anything. Just juices. […] It flushes out the system, cleans out the colon. I think that’s great. To really make it work, you have to do it properly. That’s the sewer valve of the system. You have to keep that clean like you clean the outside of your body. All these impurities come out of your system because you’re not clean inside. It comes out in pimples or disease or through big pores. Toxins trying to get out of your system. People should try to keep themselves clean.

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me Seems That The World's Got A Role For Me I'm So Confused Will You Show To Me You'll Be There For Me And Care Enough To Bear Me

you give me fever from miles around ill pick you up in my car and well paint the toown

There’s a whole psychological reason for those cartoons about good against evil. We have "Superman" and all those other hero people, so that we can go out into life and try to be something. I’ve got most of Disney’s animated movies on video-tapes, and when we watch them. Oh, I could just eat it, eat it. […] Jimmy Cricket, Pinocchio, Mickey Mouse – these are world-known characters. Some of the greatest political figures have come to the United States to meet them.

Its all for love... L.O.V.E.

Don't blame it on the sunshine. Don't blame it on the moonlight. Blame it on the boogie.

All the things I've read in my school books about England and the Queen were okay, but my eyes are the greatest book in the world.

I'm really very self-confident when it comes to my work. When I take on a project, I believe in it 100%. I really put my soul into it. I'd die for it. That's how I am.

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 plan Everybody sing- Every day create your History, Every path you take you're leaving your legacy Every soldier dies in his glory Every legend tells of conquest and liberty.

On the brilliance of James Brown's dancing − and the frustrations of bad camera-work on dancers:cers: I think James Brown is a genius you know when he's with the Famous Flames, unbelievable. I used to watch him on television and I used to get angry at the camera-man because whenever he would really start to dance they would be on a close-up so I couldn't see his feet. I'd shout "Show him! Show him!", so I could watch and learn.

They say that parenting is like dancing. You take one step, your child takes another.

I love the whole world of dance, because dancing is really the emotions through bodily movement. And however you feel, you just bring out the inner feeling through your mood...people don't think about the importance of it.

I trembled to think of a world without stars. No guide for the sailor to trust at see, no jewels to dazzle our sense of beauty [...] But all around the globe, the air is so dirty and the lights from the cities are so bright that for some people few stars can be seen anymore. A generation of children may grow up seeing a blank sky and asking, "Did there used to be stars there?

Just doing as well as you did last time is not good enough.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm going to search for my star until I find it. It's hidden in the drawer of innocence, wrapped in a scarf of wonder.

Say Say Say What you want But don't play games With my affection Take take take What you need But don't leave me With no direction

She's saying that's ok, Hey baby, do what you want I'll be your night lovin' thing I'll be the freak you can taunt And I don't care what you say I want to go too far I'll be your everything If you make me a star... Dirty Diana

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 want, the promise of love.

I wrote a book called ‘Dancing The Dream’. It was more autobiographical than Moonwalk, which I did with Mrs. Onassis. It wasn’t full of gossip and scandal and all that trash that people write, so I don’t think people paid much attention to it, but it came from my heart. It was essays, thoughts and things that I’ve thought about while on tour

I never have felt that people should feel that they are better than others, simply because they just happen to possess a larger share of material items and monetary wealth than others less fortunate. I believe in sharing, assisting, and just lending a helping hand to people.

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

When the body breaks down and you start to wrinkle, I think it's so bad,

Wherever you go, man-made things are man-made, but you’ve got to get out and see God’s beauty of the world.

Prejudice is taught. If the world were full of only children, it would be a much better place.

I just want to bring the world together. Togetherness is what I want for this planet.

I'm totally at home on the stage. That's where I live. That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.

Success definitely brings on loneliness. People think you're lucky, that you have everything. They think you can go anywhere and do anything, but that's not the point. One hungers for the basic stuff.

Xs were used because there was no mass literacy - a state we are rapidly approaching once more.

I say, ‘You should blanket me’ or ‘you should blanket her’, meaning like a blanket is a blessing. It’s a way of showing love and caring.

You want what you create to live, and I give my all in my work because I want it to live.

Life songs of ages, throbbing in my blood, have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood.

Follow the Golden Rule. Be kind to your neighbors, love them as much as you would love yourself, do unto others....

I think God outdid Himself when He created children.

Change is inevitable and always good in one sense or the other.

The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a childs heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that. What we need to learn from children isnt childish. Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life, which is everpresent and only asks to be lived. They know the way to solutions that lie waiting to be recognized within our own hearts.

To me, ballads are special, because you can have a pop song that’ll be know for three weeks and then you’ll hear nothing else about it. Nobody else will record it and it’ll just be gone. But if you do a good ballad, it’ll be in the world forever.

Those who criticize. They desire our blood, not our pain. But still I must achieve. I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the Power I was sent forth. For the world. For the children. But have mercy, for Ive been bleeding a long time now.

In times like these, we need each other. We must bond together in spirit and in service.

I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak.

I've been in the entertainment industry since I was six-years-old ... As Charles Dickens says, 'It's been the best of times, the worst of times.' But I would not change my career ... While some have made deliberate attempts to hurt me, I take it in stride because I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.

I think…to give. In the best way I can, through song and through dance and through music. I mean, I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.

I believe in my heart that the music community will come together as one and rally to the aid of thousands of innocent victims, ... There is a tremendous need for relief dollars right now and through this effort each one of us can play an immediate role in helping comfort so many people.

I was taught to be Biblical: “Forgive them for they know not what they do.

I appreciate all my fans, on all occasions, everyday of my life. Its your presence & your loyalty that has given me great strength

I believe in the Bible and I try to follow the Bible. I know I'm an imperfect person, I'm not making myself out to be an angel. Because I'm not an angel & I'm not a devil either. I try to be the best I can and I try to do what I think is right. It's that simple.

Being a world traveler, I'm touched and moved by everything that happens, especially to children. It gets me emotionally sick and I go through a lot of pain when I see that type of pain. I can't pretend as if I don't see it. It affects me very much.

I love great music - it has no color, it has no boundaries.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

I made a terrible mistake. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children. I love my children. I was holding my son tight. Why would I throw a baby off the balcony? That's the dumbest, stupidest story I ever heard.

Lift your head up high, and scream to the world. I know I am someone, and let the truth unfurl.

Ain't no mountain that I can't climb, baby

When the world is on your shoulder, got to straighten up your act and boogie down.

It's been my fate to compensate for the childhood I've never known.

Have you seen my childhood? I'm searching for the world that I came from cause I've been looking around in the lost and found of my heart.

If you want to see eccentricities, I'll be grotesque before your eyes.

Jew me, sue me, everybody do me.

Look who's standing if you please, 'though you tried to bring me to my knees.

We are Germans. We are Armenians. French, Italian, Russian, American, Asian, African... many other nationalities. We are Christians, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu. We are black, we are white. We are a community of some many differences, so complex and yet so simple. We do not need to have war!

If politicians can't do it, I want to do it. We have to do it. Artists, put it in paintings. Poets, put it in poems, novels. That's what we have to do. And I think it's so important to save the world.

Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize your neighborhood. And whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down, must stand and face the hounds of hell, and rot inside a corpse's shell.

The main thing that I hate the most is ignorance, like the prejudice problems of America. I know it is worse in some other countries. But I wish I could borrow, like from Venezuela or Trinidad, the real love of color-blind people and bring it to America.

Tenderoni, you've got to be.

Mama always told me, be careful what you do, don't go around breaking young girls hearts.

Your cameras can't control the minds of those who know, that you'll even sell your soul just to get a story sold.

The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown.

Masquerading the heart is the height of haunting souls.

"In Africa," S. B. once remarked, "if you do well, people close to you will hate you."

You know I'm bad, I'm bad. You know it.

There's bits of my heart in different countries around the world in which I travel.

We can help the world live without fear. It is our only hope, and without hope we are lost.

We need Peace, We need Giving, We need Love, We need Unity.

My idea of magic doesn't have much to do with stage tricks and illusions. The whole world abounds in magic.

I know a tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, 'Chhhhhh, this is wonderful.' And that's how I feel when I'm singing some songs. It's wonderful.

Remember,the press is a business: Newspapers and magazines are in business to make money - sometimes at the expense of accuracy, fairness and even the truth.

Always appreciate the gift of life! Be happy and have fun!

Sensationalism seems to sell more than wonderful-positive news.

A song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. We need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity. I want the whole world to sing this song.

The lyrics, the strings, the chords, everything comes at the moment like a gift that is put right into your head and that's how I hear it.

I always wanted to do music that influences and inspires each generation.

Love transcends international boundaries. It heals the wounds of racial hatred, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance.

I have spent my entire life helping millions of children across the world. I would never harm a child. It is unfortunate that some individuals have seen fit to come forward and make a complaint that is completely false. Years ago, I settled with certain individuals because I was concerned about my family and the media scrutiny that would have ensued if I fought the matter in court. These people wanted to exploit my concern for children by threatening to destroy what I believe in and what I do. I have been a vulnerable target for those who want money.

I'm always Peter Pan in my heart

Culture changes, fashions change, customs change. Great music is immortal.

They (children) are my teachers. I watch them and I learn. It is important for us to try and be like them and imitate them. They are golden.
