I will never do a record without some sense of responsibility.

I simply refuse to play by the rules.

Sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right time - or never.

I live with the fact that while I am playing, I am going to give everything I have, and I will live with those consequences.

You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.

Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.

You can't play it safe if you want to get ahead.

I don't write policy for my government.
