Some artists think every woman is a groupie, and that every dude is a sucker, and I never looked at people like that.

The way music reflects real life, the way that painstakingly, over the years, what I have said is really a metaphor for what's happening to America. It used to be about, or tried to be at the very beginning, about what was right. It has stopped being what was right for America; it started being about what was right for companies that are in control.

You will learn a lesson repeated through history, that no matter what you think, occupation is not victory!

A pretty face can capture my attention but only a beautiful mind can hold it.

I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches.

Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal, This is the last time I kneel and pray to the sky, Cause almost everything that I was always ever told was a lie...

I would say that everyone that you see who is successful in the mainstream, at the top of Billboard, who has a Top 40 hit... at some point, unless they're a complete fabrication of the industry with no identity of their own and a carbon copy clone of someone else, they in themselves started out being underground.
