You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

The human heart is greedy; it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.

The strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog. It's very odd, 'cause I don't have a dog.

In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.

I'm home a lot. Because I live in Ireland, we can live under the celebrity radar. I might go missing for a whole year.
