And thoughts of no other man but you could possibly get through the picket lines to enter into my mind.

I think I'm a very solitary person. To actually not be anonymous is a bit claustrophobic for me.

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.

I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.

Music has as many roles as people make it. I traveled to Burma once years ago to witness the people's struggle for democracy, meet some people and learn some stuff. And I had this incredible experience over and over again in the Burmese jungle or refugee camps or health clinics with very oppressed, very devastated people. I show up, and I'm white and I'm American and I'm privileged and I have an experience that these people can't fathom and vice versa. There was this huge chasm when I met people for all good reasons.

Privilege is a headache, that you don't know that you don't have.

I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
