You can have it all but how much do you want it?
When I was younger, I had big visions of changing the world.
By doing something positive in this world, you're helping people and the future. We're all trying to help the world. . . make it a better place to live. We're actually still changing the world, aren't we?
I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it.
Go with your first thoughts; they're usually your best thoughts. Pay attention, stick to your goals and follow those guidelines.

I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.

Like the one-tenth of our brain that we currently use, I think now that most if not all of us have access to about one-tenth of our possible feelings.
You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything
