The way you get to know yourself is by the expression on other people's faces.

I cannot afford to watch Fox News.

I don't mind being criticized. I enjoy being criticized personally, not by rumor.

I learnt early on that your audience take the songs in the way they want to rather than the way you might want them too.

Oftentimes, the way it seems to be is that our artists in particular point themselves out as spokesmen for a certain constituency in a community, and thereby place themselves in that vulnerable position.

I think a whole lot of stuff gets by people - I could name half a dozen groups that do songs that are openly supportive of experimentation with drugs, nobody ever said anything to them.

I would say if you are familiar with our history and the history of our art and literature that you see a clear cut pattern of people wanting to contribute, not only artistically, but in some practical purpose, for the benefits of the community.
