I don't like greed, I don't like ignorance. I really don't like anger. But I love love.

My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.

Don't waste the time. Time is the final currency, man. Not money, not power - it's time.

I want to look at myself the way I do on purpose, because if you aggrandize and try to look at yourself the way a fan does or the way a reviewer does or the way - God bless them, they all got a right to, everybody's got a right to an opinion about it.

I love music. I love making songs. I feel like I've been given a path where I can contribute, where I can protest if somebody does something really obviously wrong or inhuman right in front of me, where I can make a difference. Where I can most especially elevate, make you happy, elevate the condition, elevate the thing.

I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty. I think, my God, I hope no one comes and busts me for this.
