Every morning I wake up and thank God.

But I knew if I ran I'd never be able to sing, so I had to take my punishment.

Growing up my mother played Sarah Vaughan and Nat Cole in the house regularly.

I always loved Sam Cooke, because he seemed very versatile. He sang gospel, soul, blues, pop music.

I always tell people I want to see the world through His eyes, and I want people to see Him in me.

I feel it was just a few years ago I was running around in short pants.

I just sing. You have to use it.

I owe it all to Jesus.

I really like listening to music in my car.

I sing around the house, in the shower.

I think things happened the way they did for a reason.

I was raised Catholic, but my father's people were Methodist, so we went to both churches.

I was very surprised when I heard that I had been chosen to receive the James Cardinal Gibbons Award.

If you had told me I'd be making 62 tomorrow, I'd say you were lying.

Me and my partners had been stealing cars for a while.

My friends and I were wild and we liked to joy-ride.

So now I have a collection of poetry by Aaron Neville and I give it to people I want to share it with. I'd like to publish it someday.

The extras are a nice bonus feature, but the main incentive is the musical experience.

Until I went to rehab, I didn't understand what it did.

We lived together as kids, and now we're taking care of each other as men.
