Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out.

Love, you drive me to distraction.

We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.

What in the world would I sing for if I had it all?

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

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.

Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.
