A lot of pop music is based on trying to make people remember it so that they'll buy it. To me, it was not about that.

Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

Capitalism unchecked is not a democratic system.

I'd rather let the music speak for itself.

I think anytime that you go to the extreme of any mode of economics, be it capitalism or communism, you have these feedback mechanisms that make the system turn in on itself.

I believe very firmly that indigenous populations had a really good, intuitive understanding of why we're here. And we're trying to gain that same understanding through psychology and intellect in modern civilization.

You listen to Bob Dylan and you can't help but think of the 60s, it's very relational and if artists are true artists and not just mere musicians they need to be truthful because the music doesn't come from them, it comes from the universe and it's to be shared. At best, we're skilled presenters, and I say that at best.
