Sayings by Stevie Wonder
I've flown a plane before.
I got a call from Smokey [Robinson] and he said, ʻI didn't like your choice of material. I think it's really ridiculous.' I said, ʻI don't give a uh what you think, or what anyone thinks!”
When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, 'How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?' That's what mattered to me.
If you drink too much I'll have to say! You're gonna have to be driven home by me or Ray!
You can't read it/ You can't read Braille/ Nya nya nya nya nya nya.
If you were in a situation where you needed to get to the hospital immediately, and you needed someone to drive you there, I know you have great love for me, but would you trust me driving there?
I did not drive myself there.
It's three.
My music would be the same if I wasn't blind.
Ya gots to work with what ya gots to work with.
Sometimes I wish I could drive a car, but I'm gonna drive a car one day, so I don't worry about that.
Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.
You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that? But seriously, you know the truth. Truth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind.
I don't follow politics anymore. It's too much. I follow the truth.
Just don't call me George Schwarz that as you know is his. real. name.
I was into voices at the time I thought by the voice being high that Bobbie was a short girl. I don't know how funny that would be today, but it was funny then.
Oh, my hair hurts me! ... You're hair is so nappy, it hurts. Your hair that hurts you. Your hair is hurting you.” So they used to call me Nappy Wonder.
Hey, mate, are you, Stevie Wonder? Hey, Stevie Wonder, tell me how many fingers I got up? If you're Stevie Wonder, you can tell me how many fingers I got up.” “Four.” “See I knew you weren't Stevie Wonder, you weren't supposed to tell me that.”
I don't know, I felt that if God didn't want me to sing it, he wouldn't have given me the talent to do it!
I'm probably worse now.
