Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.

I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.

I don't type fast. I type with three fingers - two on one hand, and I only get one going on the other. I think my thumb's in there, but I'm not sure. I may be no better than an orangutan when it comes to that.

Actually, in its purest form, Islam is incredibly tolerant. That makes what's going on in the world really bizarre.

I've been on every interstate highway in the lower forty-eight states by now and I never get tired of the view.

I have no doubt in mind that I justify the space I take up in the world.

You know, I'm not comfortable with people whose politics are static in a democracy.
