People might not protest for overtly political or social causes, but when they can't feed themselves and their family, they will take to the streets.

There haven't been organized protests, but I have heard of protests where people have wanted to celebrate Halloween.

When I do a festival, I want everyone to have a party, I think it is kind of similar to a club where everyone is there to have a good time and celebrate not being at work or just being able to have fun. I love people dancing to my music as well; if I can make them dance I feel happy.

There's a temptation not to vote at all as a protest, but it's definitely not a protest. In fact, all it does is keep the people in power in power, and I don't think they should be.

The power of protest depends not only on how many turn out, but also on what legislative, judicial, and civil society institutions exist to enact the will of those marching in the streets.

The rule is, you can protest all you want. Make all the noise you want. Carry all the signs you want. The minute you throw a rock, you get arrested. The minute you break a window, you get arrested. The minute you break into a store, you get arrested.

Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left.

You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.

When I was a kid and the carnival would come to the shopping centre, I'd go down and talk to all the people running the rides. I like that whole lifestyle, moving from town to town in a nomadic existence.

It seems the only way to gain attention today is to organize a march and protest something.
