The reason I didn't like cocaine is it made me do stupid things, have stupid conversations, and stay awake until 11 o'clock in the morning unable to think, read, sleep or speak.

For me the most important issue is climate change because it in some ways trumps every other issue. Everything else we care about falls by the wayside if the Greenland ice shelf falls into the sea. And if suddenly sea levels rise 21 feet, everything we hold near and dear ceases to exist.

For my most of my career I've been a falling-down drunk. Most of my interviews were done hungover, and for a while it was great.

I thought that my life would be spent working in a bookstore, teaching community college, and making music in my spare time that no one would be willing to listen to.

In an odd way, Donald Trump and maybe Brexit is gonna be great for inspiring a new wave of socially conscious political music.

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.

But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed.
