There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.

Would you not like to be, sittin' on top of the world with your legs hanging free?

When I was a kid growing up in New York, I was pretty unaware of racism. I think when we're young - before we lose our innocence - we're sort of unaware of the more flawed qualities of each other.

I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.

There's war - there's always been war, as long as most of us have been alive. There have always been people being abused, there's always been horrible things in the world. Why are we outraged? We should just be quiet and figure it out, and work it out together.

I don't believe in trickle-down economics. I don't think that people who have the most are inclined to share it, generally.

I found there's a fairly blatant racism in America that's already there, and I don't think I noticed it when I lived here as a kid. But when I went back to South Africa, and then it's sort of thrust in your face, and then came back here - I just see it everywhere.
