We cannot change the politics issue until we change the culture around it; until we talk about what parents do for their kids as an act of love. That's a cultural conversation.

You can't talk about life without talking about politics. You have to have both. If you're just a political person, you're going to burn out. If you, as an artist, are just focused inward, you're going to eventually be irrelevant.

You can't just talk politics all the time - it's boring.

As society changes, as politics change, as people change, certain songs still seem to resonate.

Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.

I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.

I don't think music should be played anywhere near politics. The two don't go together.

So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
