"I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. But I'm still striving to be a better man."

"I'm not a man of many words, but I'm a man of many songs."

"I'm not a legend. I'm just a man. And I'm trying to do the best I can."

"I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been. Each one an orphan's cry, a mother's silent sin."

"My advice to you is to be yourself. There's nothing else you can do."
