A lot of artists say, I'm not political. People are afraid of this word.

In my life, the stories I have heard from my family, my friends, my community, and from willing strangers all over the world have been the true source of my education.

All my life I have gone out on a limb, but I have turned the limb into a bridge, and there is cool, clear water flowing under.

My creativity and my political work are linked. I don't do this work out of guilt or out of responsibility.

The greatest warriors are the ones who fight for peace.

Whenever new ideas emerge, songs soon follow, and before long the songs are leading.

When we make mistakes, say, I'm blessed that I have an opportunity to learn from this.
