I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.

I'm used to writing songs and songs-I can fill em up with symbolism and metaphors. When you write a book (Chronicles, Vol. 1), you gotta tell the truth, and it can't be misinterpreted.

Your mind is a your temple, keep it beautiful and free. Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

I hurt easy, I just don't show it. You can hurt someone and not even know it.

There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I'm trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. They have got nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about the general people and when they get hurt.

Like the lion tears the flesh off a man, so can a woman who passes herself off as a male.
