I reject the idea that humans are superior to other life forms. . . Man is just an ape with an overly developed sense of superiority.

We're just a conceited, naked ape. But in our minds we're some sort of "divine legend," and we see ourselves as some sort of god. That we can walk around the earth deciding who will live and who will die and what will be destroyed and what will be saved. But the fact is we're just a bunch of primates out of control.

The fact is I have never been convicted of a crime.

This is the contradiction we have in the media. We love vigilantes: Batman, Tarzan, Green Arrow - the comic books and the TV shows are filled with vigilantes. We love to promote it. Jesus Christ was a vigilante. We admire these people, but we don't want to be associated with them.

What we need now is heroes - millions of them. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.

Musicians have made incredible contributions to the conservation and environmental movement and continue to do so, more than ever.

The tragedy is that there is so much more incentive - money - to destroy the ecology than there is to preserve it.
