Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.

Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.

I do see the good in people, but I also see the bad --- I see it in myself. I know what I'm capable of. Good and bad. It's very imnportant that we make that clear. Just because I often find a way around the darkness doesn't mean tjat I don't know it's there. (Bono)

There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.

You don't become an 'artist' unless you've got something missing somewhere. Blaise Pascal called it a God-shaped hole. Everyone's got one but some are blacker and wider than others. It's a feeling of being abandoned,cut adrift in space and time-sometimes following the loss of a loved one. You can never completely fill that hole-you can try with songs,family,faith and by living a full life...but when things are silent, you can still hear the hissing of what's missing.

If I don't understand it, it must be art.

I wish to begin again on a daily basis. To be born again every day is something that I try to do. And I'm deadly serious about that.
