My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunites.

If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

I think a child may be the only thing that could give me true happiness.

My happiness doesn't come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.

It was physically difficult, adjusting to wheelchair life, but I remember a great relief and happiness that I was finally getting somewhere, finding musicians to work with that were sympathetic.

I see happiness as a by-product. I don't think you can pursue happiness. I think that phrase is one of the very few mistakes the Founding Fathers made.

I'm passionate about everything, like my family and friends. Anybody I am talkin' to is gonna be bona fide real. There is no substitution for happiness. Period.

Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.

I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.
