Living so fully, I can't imagine what any drug could do for me.

The longer you practice nonviolence and the meditative qualities of it that you will need, the more likely you are to do something intelligent in any situation.

My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.

I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace; I was trying to disturb the war.

If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.

I'm not a rock and roller, a hitmaker. I'm highly dependent on what's coming out of these vocal cords.

I love the lower ranges of my new voice. I really enjoy that. It's a challenge, and I accept the challenge. I sort of enjoy it now to reach notes that maybe four years ago I couldn't reach. I don't mean to grumble about it. I'm past that critical period and have gone on to a whole new field. And we go everywhere. We travel around the world, and I learn songs from every place we go, and it's a joyful process.
