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.

Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.

Cocaine eyes won't hide your face.

I don't think there is one president that's come down the line that hasn't done something good somewhere.

If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm, get down on the ground and pretend you're swimming.
