I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
I always stayed fit because I'm a performer, and all of those things help me to perform.

Honor the community you come from. Tell their stories.

Great music as much about the space in between the notes as it is about the notes themselves.
Every ripple on the ocean, every leaf on every tree, every sand dune in the desert, every power we never see.
Don't judge me, you could be me in another life.
Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right.
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn't take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I'd found a friend for life.

I don't belong to a church or political party or a group of any kind. I feel that Amnesty International is the most civilized organization in history. Its currency is the written word. Its weapon is the letter; that's why I am a member. I believe in its non-violence; I believe in its effectiveness. Its dignity and its sense of commitment. Its focus on individuals and the concentration and tenacity with which they defend those imprisoned for their ideas has earned it the cautious respect of repressive governments throughout the world.
