Morality has nothing in common with politics.

Right now, America is in a state of upheaval. Poverty is demoralizing. You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy there now who is redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to.

I don't expect politicians to solve anybody's problems. We've got to take the world by the horns and solve our own problems. The world owes us nothing, each and every one of us, the world owes us not one single thing. Politicians or whoever.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

The Democratic Party will live and continue to receive the support of the majority of Americans just so long as it remains a liberal party.

Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.
