My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

Give me love and work - these two only.

There's a reason God didn't give me this success in my 20s, because I'd have blown it.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. I love your voice man, you give me chills... Brilliant.

Give me a couple of years, and I'll make that actress an overnight success.

Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let you go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call you
After my blood turns into alcohol
No I just wanna hold you

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my oh give me love
