I lived for music since I could think.

I always make the joke that I go home, to one of my homes, to go and do laundry so I can go on the road again.

I lived for music since I could think.

I've always stood on one fact - that all over the world, there are only two things, the Establishment and the poor people. The poor people are a massive majority and across the world they are exploited in different kinds of ways. The Establishment depends on exploiting raw materials and the poor.

I think it is incumbent on all human beings to oppose injustice in every form.

I'm travelling more than ever. I don't have the answer as to why, but the demand seems to have grown as I've got older.

I think that anybody from the 20th century, up to now, has to be aware that if it wasn't for Louis Armstrong, we'd all be wearing powdered wigs. I think that Louis Armstrong loosened the world, helped people to be able to say "Yeah," and to walk with a little dip in their hip. Before Louis Armstrong, the world was definitely square, just like Christopher Columbus thought.
