And you may not know it, my friends, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor, and attack it as such.

Just because you lost me as a friend doesn't mean you gained me as an enemy. I'm bigger than that. I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table.

The only enemy is ignorance. Peace, people. Let's get rid of all this nuclear testing.

I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I'm a very tragic person. But there's always an element of humour at the end.

Beauty is the enemy. We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It's a battle that can't be won. There's no definition of beauty. The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it from inside without breaking down into individual physical attributes

I think I've finally, after 72 years, gotten used to my voice, and it sounds like a friend now instead of an enemy.
