I'm only sort of a politician.

Everyone says corruption is everywhere, but for me it seems strange to say that and then not try to put the people guilty of that corruption away.

Without any doubt, I am striving for power.

Xenophobia is fairly widespread in Russia.

We've grown accustomed to injustice in Russia. People are constantly being arrested unlawfully.

I don't know why, but Putin has made a ritual out of humiliating Medvedev. Sometimes I even feel sorry for the prime minister.

When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

People hate politicians. And I can understand why.

I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.

People don't believe in positive changes anymore.

I really hate the people in power. I hate them with every fiber of my being. That is what drives me in almost everything I do.

The true believer is rewarded in every thing, even in affliction.

I’ve named everything that I’ve ever owned. Real or inanimate, I have to give it a first and last name. Everything in my apartment comes alive at night.

That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.

Eternal vigilance is the price of knowledge.

I’ve been hit by a truck in love.

I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways.

We must muster the courage, we must find the will, we must do what is necessary to build a truly transformative movement that will end the history and cycle of caste in America.

It's hard being part of a married couple in a band.

You can't ask someone who is not making that kind of money to go to the record store and buy an album when someone down the street has the same record with same sound quality for $5.

I want to believe there's a heaven. But I can't not believe there's a hell.
