I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.

I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

I will not yield to any man contrary to what is right, for fear of death, even if I should die at once for not yielding.

I see a government completely out of control, and money is number one. Integrity isn't even on the map.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

If you really want to judge the character of a man, look not at his great performances. Watch a man do his most common actions.
