I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.

I hate to admit it, but we're badass.

It's so hard for me to even acknowledge America without talking about race. If you look at our society, if you look at the prisons, if you look at the poverty and which side of the line the majority of people are, we have to acknowledge how we divide ourselves up, that there's racism alive in this country. And it's not in the law. It's in our minds. And that's what we have to actively battle.

How could I have been anyone other than me?

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.
