Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed.

We all have stories we're living and telling ourselves.

T-Bone Burnett once said that much of rock music is simply someone going wahhh daddy.

Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous.

You can go from doing something quite silly to something dead serious in the blink of an eye, and if you're making those connections with your audience then they're going to go right along with it.

Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous.
