Ray Charles

I'm not a saint. I'm just a man.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I've learned from them.

Music is like a good woman. You gotta treat her right.

I don't know what I'd do without music. It's my life.

I'm not afraid to die. I've lived a good life.

I've always been a fighter. I've always had to fight for what I believe in.

I don't like to be put in a box. I like to be free.

The piano is my best friend.

I'm not a politician. I'm a musician.

I've always tried to be honest with my music. And with myself.

I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work.

I've always been a dreamer. And I've always chased my dreams.

I'm not perfect. Nobody is.

I've always tried to make people happy with my music.

I don't know what the future holds, but I'm not afraid.

I've always been a survivor. I've always found a way to make it.

I'm not a quitter. I never give up.

I've always tried to be true to myself. And to my music.

I don't have any regrets. I've lived my life the way I wanted to.

I've always been a risk-taker. I've always gone for it.
