I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.

Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.

If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves

Love, anger, depression, joy and dreams. ...And Zeppelin. Totally.

When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.

There's the moon asking to stay long enough for the clouds to fly me away

Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.

What gets me pretty pissed off is the whole Monsanto engineered foods issue.

Well, I sing by night, wander by day. I'm on the road and it looks like I'm here to stay.

I sell mirrors in the city of the blind.

I'm an unpure purist, something like that.

My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.

Compassion for the mother is extremely important, but is never served through destroying the innocent.

Secrecy is the enemy of efficiency, but don't let anyone know it.

Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
