I'm amazed at the adolescent nature of some of the religious fanatics in our government. And they're full of double standards.

What was nice about the nineties is that it was an example of music that responded to a desire of the times. It spoke to the social conditions of the times. Women were making more money. Women were saying, "My voice counts. If we're going out on a Friday night, I don't want to see a Rambo movie. I want to go see a singer/songwriter who sings about my life".

Go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold.

When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.

They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.

If you're lucky you find something that reflects you, Helps you feel your life, protects you, Cradles you and connects you to everything.

For my 50th birthday I just want to make it all make sense [being exactly half introvert], and then a couple of weeks later do the blow-out with all my friends.
