Eleutheria, the fire is burning. Eleutheria, the tables are turning.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.

Fly Away changed my life. There are certain songs that do. When I won the Grammy, I was in Paris. I sort of forgot about it.

I mean, look at the people we celebrate - a lot of people who really don't do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they're hooked up with the right people, so they're celebrities. But what for?

Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.

That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.

I find cooking to be the one thing that relaxes me. I don't get to do it often . . .
