Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

I have spent a good part of my life looking for the perfect barbecue. there is no point in looking in places like texas, where they put some kind of ketchup on beef and call it barbecue. barbecue is pork, which narrows the search to the south, and if it's really good pork barbecue you are looking for, to north carolina.

The blues? why, the blues are a part of me. they're like a chant. the blues are like spirituals, almost sacred. when we sing blues, we're singing out our hearts, we're singing out our feelings. maybe we're hurt and just can't answer back, then we sing or maybe even hum the blues. when i sing, 'i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry -- yes, i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry,'... what i'm doing is letting my soul out.

I have heartaches, i have blues. no matter what you got, the blues is there. 'cause that's all i know - the blues. and i can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and i can give you the blues.

And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

For me, memphis has always been a city that holds a great deal of meaning and also leads me to a lot of thinking. besides sun studio, which helped put rock n' roll on the map all over the world, the legendary stax studio also called memphis home.

You should never protest outside a rich guy's home during the day because he's not there. he's at work grinding the faces of the poor.

God made a beauteous garden with lovely flowers strown, but one straight, narrow pathway that was not overgrown. and to this beauteous garden he brought mankind to live, and said "to you, my children, these lovely flowers i give. prune ye my vines and fig trees, with care my flowers tend, but keep the pathway open your home is at the end." god's garden
