My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.

Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning, find someone who's turning, and you will come around.

Crazy friends provide for crazy times, and such crazy times we're had.

I'm not into this judgmental, religious-right kind of thing.

I don't know if I want White America to remember or fortoget that Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary.

I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.

And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.
