It seems to be part of the human condition to need someone you can look down on. I still don't get that one.

Society's Child' was a real hard record to start with. That's all you want is for you to put your first record out and have people screaming at you in the streets. But it taught me right away that what I was doing was valuable and important.

Wish I'd written Tikkun Olam – a Weavers or Peter Paul & Mary hit!

When you’re young, the goal is to have a hit. You get a little older and the goal becomes to get to make another record.

I started 'Society's Child' on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it.

I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs.

Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.
