I don't know about other writers, but for myself, to write I must be relatively quiet - it's very difficult to write with the telephone and the doorbell ringing and conversation going on; I'm not that good a writer to write through all that!
From Ray Charles
The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.
I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.
There's nothing written in the Bible, Old or New testament, that says, 'If you believe in Me, you ain't going to have no troubles.'
I've always been the kind of person who, if there's anything that can kill me, I want to know something about it.
Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.
