Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my all-time favorite writers. I feel spiritual when reading his words, even though they're translated. I wish desperately that I could read it in its original language. I already feel like I'm going to church when I read him; imagine if I could read it in the original.

Little soldier, little insect You know war it has no heart It will kill you in the sunshine Or happily in the the dark Where kindness is a card game Or a bent up cigarette In the trenches, in the hard rain With a bullet and a bet.

Popular music is all about traveling at the speed of you and elevating the individual as the highest thing in the world.

We've all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.

You should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living, because it's the ones with the sorest throats who have done the most singing.

You could be happy, the minute you try. Why won't you try? Oh won't you try?

The way my life's structured, I don't stay in a place for more than a couple months.
