There's no love in my songs. There's just a lot of resentment. Just bad attitude. But that's intentional, that's what I like. I love the whole idea of Motown.

Our business,The Producers Guild, has a good record in some areas, and a bad record in others. There are many well-intentioned people trying to change things.

Everyone receives spiritual formation, just as everyone gets an education. The only question is whether it is a good one or a bad one.

This is an indispensable aspect of developing a psychology that is adequate to human life. — Dallas Willard
