The revolution starts now.

Politics has always been in my music. Anybody who doesn't understand how political "Copperhead Road" is isn't listening very well.

Sonnets are guys writing in English, imitating an Italian song form. It was a form definitely sung as often as it was recited.

I'm constantly warning people that are involved in my life that I can go busk and make a living. I can make my rent in New York City in the subway, I promise, if I'm forced to.

I think the criticism that I take to heart is from other writers that I respect.

I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.

I mainly read non-fiction, and that's probably because I have a huge amount of insecurity about my lack of education and the things I don't know.
