I don't think socialism, and I don't think warmness and respect are necessarily bad words.

I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways.

I believe in love, but believe it's love that keeps beating me down.

Good music is good music, and everything else can go to hell.

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.

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