I think I would have had less tumult in my life if I hadn't grown up in my particular house.

Challenges in medicine are moving from 'Treat the symptoms after the house is on fire' to 'Can we preserve the house intact?'

Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.

I wasn't really living anywhere... I was just kinda hanging out. I would live from week to week in places.

I grew up playing with kids from Hurt Village, playing with kids from other housing projects, Lamar Terrace, because my grandmother lived in that particular area. So, I always wondered how I would have turned out if I would have lived in that particular given circumstance.

I would hate to live in the country, unless I was living on a farm.

Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.

I used to get really sick. I would go to the doctor with all these ailments, and they would tell me I needed to be at home. I didn't even really understand what that meant because since I was a baby, I've always been moving, moving, and then touring.

I wouldn't have really committed myself to any kind of spiritual lifestyle, I don't think, if I had not endured great suffering. I think that's the case with a lot of people.

I lived a normal life for a number of years. I had kids. I lived up on a farm in Gloucestershire in rural England, and just kind of got back to reality again.
