We have to do much more than believe if we really want to change things.

Because one of the properties of music is to entertain and to, I don't mean this lightly, distract us from the things that pull us down. Music should be not only a source for political ideas but also a source of hope.

I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.

So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us.

Everyday should be a good day to die

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

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