Pastoral Resources

We do not attract what we want, but what we are.

It's such a great feeling to make people laugh. I know I've made people cry or want to slit their wrists, but to make people laugh is a very intoxicating, wonderful thing.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

I don't have to 'freedom-kiss' my wife when what I really want to do is French-kiss her.

You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now.

If a horse won't eat it, I don't want to play on it.

Feminism is dated? Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.

We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.

Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.

I have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.

I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.

I don't want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues.

I want to play in a place people want to hear me.

What I want to do, is play music for somebody who believe in me.

I want people to recognize Luther Allison when I play.

I've heard some tunes in recent years that were pretty close to that same idea. The idea was you turn on the radio and you want to hear some music and up comes a commercial.
