People love to hear music on their personal devices, but the issue really becomes, if you're able to download music, you should know this download and the quality of it is going to be of the highest, and that it has a value to it and on it.

You've got too many formats adult contemporary, adult alternative, soft rock, neo-soul come on! ... I'm hoping I will fit in all the marketplaces and not be limited to one place in music.

I know! I know! But it's really coming out. They say they want it out for September 20th, I say the 27th.

Some things are definitely our responsibility as individuals, and certain things are the responsibility of people committed to making sure everything is OK,

A friend had a couple of pairs made up for me, ... I think the album is coming out.

I was never afraid to put this out. That was never the issue -- ever. I wanted it to sound contemporary but still be me. It was just a matter of getting it right.

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

I remember the beginnings of the Kurzweil reading machine. I was one of the first to meet Ray Kurzweil and purchase the reading machine in Boston. To think that the machine was at least two and a half large suitcases at the time, and now you have a camera and it takes a picture and you have sound.

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.

When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, 'How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?' That's what mattered to me.

I might sing a gospel song in Arabic or do something in Hebrew. I want to mix it up and do it differently than one might imagine.

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

You can't base your life on other people's expectations.

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

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.

I want to take all the pain that I feel and celebrate and turn it around.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Do you know, it's funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.
