Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.

I was a very repressed young person. I wasn't good at school. I didn't fit in.

Bono actually gets a lot of substantial work done. The guy really does put a lot of things together and, while I'm not a fan of his music, I greatly applaud his humanitarian efforts.

If I had to perform in a comedy club I would bomb; I would be trying too hard.

I don't know if music has ever achieved anything past appealing to the people that it appeals to. If a song could stop a war, then Bob Marley and Bob Dylan songs would have stopped one or two.

If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.

I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.
