When all you can think of is your own personal problems, you have nothing to give to your society. If you're trying to figure out where your next meal is coming from, you can't go march on Washington.

I'm home in New Orleans!

Let's show them all how it's done, let's do it all imperfectly.

There's a certain window of time in the middle of the night out in Middle America where there's no bar open and nothing on TV. If you don't want to do too many drugs, you have to start bodily mutilation.

I wonder what you look like under your t-shirt. I wonder what you sound like when you're not wearing words. I wonder what we have when we're not pretending.

When you sit right down in the middle of yourself you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.

The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.
