I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

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

I think we have to be active in teaching our children, and teaching each other. We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace. We have a military, but what if there was a department devoted entirely and truthfully to finding peaceful resolutions?

I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.

I think we should all talk to our enemies and talk to our friends. Talk! That's the only way we'll find solutions.

You and me have a better time than most can dream of, better than the best.

How we can stay faithful to the people that have supported us from the beginning is a thought in my mind. I always want to keep that part of it alive.
