Isaac Hayes's quotes

• Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business.
• Just, you know, you can't put bread in a cold oven. You know, you've got to take your time. You've got to heat it up. So that's what, that's what I like to do with my music. I like to build it, and build it into a maddening, exciting crescendo.
• Know the business, learn the business, own something.
• If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.
• There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins.
• There's always hurdles. So I just keep moving, just constantly redefining myself. That's how you stay in the race.
• Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored.
• I think the kids today need to hear more about morals and values.
• I love music.
• The rappers have gone in and created a lot of hit music based upon my influence. And they'll tell you if you ask.
• I influence people, hopefully on the positive side.
• Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it's because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.
• Guys in slavery sang praises to the Lord to deliver them from bondage.
• I was a pop freak.
• I first heard African drum rhythms and chants at the movies. Then, when I had the opportunity to go to Africa and visit the villages, I heard the real, raw, true rhythms and realized the origins of the old Negro spirituals I grew up with in the South.
• I'd always loved strings. When I was in high school and saw strings playing on stage, an orchestra or a symphony, all those bows moving at the same time... wow.
• I used to stand in front of the mic and cry.
