I am well protected Too locked up Inside myself To get free

Jazz music is as American as it gets, and so is the U.S. Postal Service. A Miles Davis stamp is a perfect marriage of two great American institutions.

And I love the hate mail I get, the unsigned, misspelled letters I get telling me to go back to Russia or wherever.

Joe Strummer, Johnny Rotten, and Ian MacKaye were all people who really made me see things differently.

I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.

The destructive power of a lie is stronger than the truth.

I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don't already know, and make me laugh. I don't care what you look like, just turn me on.
