Quote

My work has social implications, it functions in a social arena.

I get accused of being a social worker every now and then.

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.

I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.

Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences.

I am not a socialite, though I seem to have got the reputation for being one. I have some very good friends who happen to be in so-called Society; but Society as such is a bore and holds no fascination for me.

I would say that social work began in my mind in the Unitarian Church when I was ten or twelve years old, and I started to do things that I thought would help other people.

I'm a social writer in the sense that I want to record, but not in the sense of trying to change people's minds.

I'm not a real social person - I'm shy - and a lot of the business is just social.

I'm interested in social commentary.
