No one in this country need go hungry, and alleviating the problem is primarily a matter of readjusting our priorities. In both the government and the private sector, self-interest has displaced the ideal of community that made this country great. The old world view of "us, we, our" has been replaced by "I, me, mine." The reasons for this are manifold and complex, but at the end of the day, we need to remember that, if one of us is suffering needlessly, all of us are diminished.

I was flying back from Lubbock and I saw Jesus on the plane, or maybe it was Elvis. You know, they kind of look the same.

We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds in the name of destiny and in the name of God.

I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.

I now derive physical and spiritual pleasure from gardening and there is tremendous satisfaction in knowing that I could survive almost anywhere if I had to.

How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self assurance that lead to happiness, they're the very things we kill.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.
