Everybody has a responsibility for what they put out into the world. Rather than trying to figure out what other people should be doing, work on your own interactions in the world and whatever influence they have. All of it has an effect.

When I hear Obama speak he just seems really sincere and he just seems like somebody who actually has his heart and his motivation in the right place. Forget about color or race or gender or whatever, he's got his heart in the right place.

I feel that working with the camera and editing it is actually my strong suit.

That's the strange thing about making a record. You can be in one mood for an hour, put it on a record, and you're remembered that way.

I think every person has the ability to affect change...through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people. We are constantly affecting the world.

The situation with Tibet has to change. China is one of the last huge dictatorships, holding on to these colonies, provinces. That has to collapse. It's the responsibility of heads of business who are going to do business in China to lay down the law.

If we keep bombing other people, that creates more anger. Tensions keep escalating.
