Stevie Wonder

I listen a lot to rap, and I'm inspired to take it, to use it in another way, to get the message across.

I used to say that if something happened to my mother, I wanted to die with her. That's because I loved her so much. I want to live so I can carry out the essence of what she has shown me: kindness and goodness.

First of all, I'm no better than the next person.

I've had threats.

The right to bear arms? What about the right to live?

Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man.

You know, I have seven children, so I guess I know some things about life.

I do believe in women. I really do.

I am all for anything that is going to better equip a person who is physically challenged in any way, to have an opportunity to be able to do what they are able to do.

I am all for stem cell research.

I'm still experimenting.

I guess people expect or figure me to be a lot of different things.

I know there are thousands of images of me.

This is like one thing that I've tried to do, and I think successfully, that when you realize that nothing really belongs to you, you begin to appreciate having an understanding of just where your head is at, and you feel so much better.

I've had some incredibly triumphal things happen in my life.

I am not a normal man.

You know, I always when people ask me, like, what is my most favorite song, I quote Duke Ellington, when they would ask him, what's his favorite composition? And I say, I haven't written it yet. Because, you know, there are different songs for different occasions.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I've given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

Eyes lie if you ever look into them for the character of the person.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.
