I draw from my family and my friends and I feel like that small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic possessions have really become to mean less. They mean nothing.

Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it's not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the '60s.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about regrets because there's nothing I can do.

That feeling of freedom, open highways of possibilities, has kind of been lost to materialism and marketing.

Lie to me, I promise to believe. Lie to me, but please don't leave.

Every night on the stop global warming college tour, Laurie and I would tell these great young people that they have the power to do anything they want. That we all have the power to create a movement for change. That the best part of ourselves is the part that rises up instinctively from compassion.

Such a muddy line between the things you want/And the things you have to do.
