Babyface Quotes:
Initially I wanted to be Muhammad Ali. But then I got into a fight and I got my butt kicked, so I figured I could choose something else.

Every time I think of it I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true, that someone like you loves me too.

How come, how long, it's not right, it's so wrong. Do we let it just go on, Turn our backs and carry on?

Quincy Jones.
