I don't think everything is going to get peachy ever. But I think we have to fight for what we believe in.

I'm glad some people have that faith. I don't have that faith. If there is a God, a caring God, then we have to figure he's done an extraordinary job of making a very cruel world.

I was regularly advised not to go into music, that I should give up that foolish dream.
