"It
would be wrong for me to say, "Yes, we can change the world with a song"
-but every time I try writing, that's where I'm at. I'm not stupid. I'm aware
of the futility of rock 'n' roll music. But I'm also aware of it's power."

"Revolution
starts at home, in your heart, in your refusal to compromise your beliefs and
your values. I'm not interested in politics like people fighting back with sticks
and stones, but in the politics of love. I think there is nothing more radical
than two peoples loving each other, because it's so infrequent"

is the cure for depression."

"Innocence
is much more powerful than experience."

your future. The only limits are the limits of your imagination. Dream up the

"I
met this guy once in a mental hospital I was visiting. He introduced himself as
Jesus Christ. I just said, 'Haven't we met before?' He said nothing. I asked him
why, if he was the son of God, was he in a mental hospital? He said, 'Because
it's my 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness.' At that point I just cracked
up. I asked him when the end of the world was going to come. He said April 1.
I thought, 'Brilliant, pencil it into the diary. The world will end on April Fool's
Day. Perfect!!!"

"The
strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to
me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their
pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog.
It's very
odd, cause I don't have a dog."

"When
those people get up at the Grammys and say, "I thank God," I always
imagine God going, "Oh, don't -- please don't thank me for that one. Please,
oh, that's an awful one! Don't thank me for that -- that's a piece of crap!

fell in love with Ali the first time I saw her. Absolutely. And the last time."

"Never
trust a man who tells you it's from the heart, never trust a man smoking a cigar,
never trust a cowboy or a man who wears shades..."

"The
human heart is greedy; it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify
its greed. Blame the human heart."

"You
must be political at times, but sometimes you have to look beyond that, to just
the state of the human spirit."

"The
right to be irresponsible and stupid is something I hold very dear. And luckily
it is something I do well."
