We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics.

Frankly I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is.

What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again.

A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt.

Have you ever heard a good joke? If you've ever heard someone just right with the right pacing then you're already on the way to poetry. It's about using words in very precise ways and using gesture.

It's something we guys have all done. Made tapes for girls trying to impress them to meet them on a shared plane of aesthetics. Read them someone else's poetry because they do poetry better than you could do it because you're too awkward to do it.

I'd say the best is when I was in Africa I saw a hippo in a house. Someone had a pet hippo. And they're meant to be one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and they had one that was sort of just wandering in and out of their house just sort of roaming about.

When you want a break from dogs and you take them to the kennel to the stars no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids you can't drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!

There's a saying. If you want someone to love you forever buy a dog feed it and keep it around.

I was surrounded by nature and trying to come to terms with this blissful nature versus the inhumane mentality of war. People were being deluded by someone using the word peace.

I came to the conclusion that in order to end racial barriers I needed to run for the office of the president and put forth an agenda of social justice and world peace. In addition I concluded that someone needed to run and challenge the liberal orthodoxy.

There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.

Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else's?

My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I've been doing this for twelve years.

To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.

To insult someone we call him 'bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature 'human' might be the greater insult.

When all the original blues guys are gone you start to realize that someone has to tend to the tradition. I recognize that I have some responsibility to keep the music alive and it's a pretty honorable position to be in.

I'm a Cancerian the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

Since I met Starsmith my producer I really feel like I'm making music because we write it together and produce it together. I've got a proper involvement in the end product as opposed to just writing a song and finding someone else to produce it.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.

I like having my hair and face done but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight out of mind.' But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine it reopens the wound. It's a high-class problem but it's real.
