Being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic. It is a great gift for me to be able to do that.
From Dave Matthews
Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.
When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.
It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.
I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy; about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
How could I have been anyone other than me?
South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
I'm familiar with that feeling of silence that comes with a very imminent catastrophe, when you know you have absolutely no control over a situation.
So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us.
I'm partly obsessed by aging gracefully.
