I don't believe in anarchy, because it will ultimately amount to the power of the bully, with weapons. Gandhi is my life's inspiration: passive resistance. I don't want to live in the Thunderdome with Mad Max.

It seems like the more I punish myself, the better it's been. What it is, I'm relentless and I never give up. I never take the easy way out.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

I don't believe in pets. I like animals to be wild and free.

I love being alive so much. When you come out of comas in your childhood, every moment awake is a joyous occasion.
