"It's very easy to be the guy that's crying disaster, because everybody wants to hear about disaster. It's harder to be the guy who is saying the world is getting better, and that we're going to cure disease and cure hunger and cure poverty and cure intolerance - but we will. That's the message I've got. I'm an optimist in a field where some of the most famous voices are pessimistic." - sci-fi author Robert Sawyer, Shift.com, September 2003

I can throw my leg behind my head, do a split, and make my nuts hit the floor - that's my $5 move right there. I got talent." - Anthony Anderson, Vibe, November 2003

"Etta really inspired me. I have young girls who looked up to me when I put out my first record; but, of course, that was not an honest representation of what I felt. My album Stripped, is raw, emotionally real.. kind of like Etta has always been. To have people appreciate the raw is what matters to me most. And I will only make honest, real music from here on out.. It took guts to be Etta James I hear she will take a man from the audience and she'll put his head in her crotch. She just goes to that point where other women would be afraid to go." - Christina Aguilera, Rolling Stone, October 2003
"I think that's what happens to singers who don't get out what they need to get out of them, you know. They just sit there and hold it in and talk about the moon and the stars, and that's not really where we're supposed to be.. that's what i've always tried to do. I was going to make sure I was going to sing with feelings so that when people heard it they could get chills on their neck."- Etta James, Rolling Stone, October 2003
