My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Not 'I don't give a f-' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f- what they say.' ... I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming.

I'm not a fighter by nature, but, if I believe in something, I stand up for it.

If I preached unity, I must act like a unifier, even at the risk of perhaps alienating some of my own colleagues.

Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong.
