I do not trust self serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations either. I trust people. So I make my music for people not for candidates.

People today are still living off the table scraps of the '60s. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

We are the people our parents warned us about.

What people really want is remarkable stuff that doesn't require a lot of technology.

If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.

I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.
