If you don't have story to tell the public at large - you have to be able to sort of go listen.

I thought everybody could sing, because everybody in my family could.

I think it was a modest thing I did (Fahrenheit 9/11) ... this is an election year ... I'm not telling them how to vote. I'm saying get information about the issues ... at first there's just silence, then there's 'Yeah!' and then there's 'Boo' ... I have never seen a reaction like this, in all my years of touring ... Clear Channel can't threaten to not play my records because they are not going to play them anyway.

Love will abide, take things in stride.

Everybody has their own level of doing their music. ... Mine just happened to resonate over the years, in one way and another, with a significant enough number of people so that I could do it professionally.

I think musicians are always supportive of each other because they want the groove to keep going on. They just basically want to play music.

Being an entertainer, especially in times like these, is really a public service.
