I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.

I'm not a soldier for anything, either. I'm only a singer and I don't think it makes a difference what we sing.

I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.

On the whole, I tend not to listen to my peers.

Potentially, America is really the greatest, but it's not yet, I don't think. It's too much like an old-fashioned empire, waving the stick and dropping too many bombs on too many people.

I have never felt in tune with the whole rock industry.

I do think there are deep structural things that are wrong in the world.
