First of all, I'm no better than the next person.
I think honestly, some people who think they're gay, they're confused.
Loving you, until the day that 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 is 4.
Now some folks say that we should be glad for what we have. Tell me, would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land?
I have enough money to satisfy myself for a lifetime.
I'm glad I'm blind and can't see it.
Troubled heart you'll know, problems have solutions, trust and I will show.
Sneaking out the back door to hand out with those hoodlum friends of mine.
When I wrote the words and I have the music, I felt, wow, you know, this has got to be right. I got to sing it right.
Sometimes I'm very disappointed at some of the people in our family of communicators, whether it be a songwriter or a rapper that's always talking about negativity or a singer or a columnist or a network that basically gets off on just trying to create the negative.
I never imagined I'd meet Berry Gordy who told me when he first heard me sing, "You know, your singing's okay, but I like your harmonica playing better."
We're stuck in fear and in not wanting to cross that most important bridge of understanding that we're more alike or not. We all cry, we all laugh.
I like the iPhone, the iPad, all the various members of that family. But I like all the various technologies that are becoming available to make the world more accessible to people who are blind and with low vision.
We know the things that are not good and are right. Those things that we know are wrong, we've got to fix them.
