Aaron Neville Quotes
But I knew if I ran I'd never be able to sing, so I had to take my punishment. Every morning I wake up and thank God. 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. It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great. Me and my partners had been stealing cars for a while. My friends and I were wild and we liked to joy-ride. So I went in front of the judge, and I had my St. Jude prayer book in my pocket and my St. Jude medal. And I'm standing there and that judge said I was found guilty, so he sentenced me to what the law prescribed: one to 14 years. 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.
