In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.

Singing other people's material was perceived, I think, as a weakness of my persona. The effect, though, was to make me dig my heels in and try even harder to combine the two.

I get weary of reading about rebirths because we're all growing all the time and it diminishes the life you've lived if you say 'I'm a new person.

I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.

I think poetry is best read to oneself.

I really enjoy creating music onstage, to participate in making music live.

Love will wash you clean in the nights disgrace.
