It is criminal to put our servicemen and women in harm's way and to put the lives of so many civilians on the line for the misguided frustrations of the Bush administration.

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

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

I definitely like the oddballs. There's a song called 'Little Thing,' which is the only song that I have recorded that has no words. And it's the one that I get past my critic inside me.

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