Sarah Palin is a great example of someone that just stirs the pot for the sake of the attention. No vision, no critical thinking, no backup to her statements. Just to incite little riots everywhere and capitalize upon it financially. To me, she is a microcosm of the ultimate cynicism in American politics.

I have daughters who are writers and actors but no musicians.

I'm not the type to turn to drugs and alcohol, but I do have a profound devotion to art and music - and children.

I have learned to be steady in my course of love, or fear, or loneliness, rather than impulsive in its wasting, either lyrically or emotionally.

Being in Vietnam changed him [Johnny Cash] fundamentally. He was devastated when we went into Iraq.

My record label is treating me like I'm a new artist, which is exciting after all this time.
