fearless naked
My fear is naked, I'm naked and fearless, and my fear is naked!
talent tenacity
I don't have talent. I have tenacity.
trying
The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to pull you down.
kings up-early television
I remember when Martin Luther King was assassinated. I was up early watching television and watched the announcement. I didn't understand what the word 'assassinated' meant.
government people way
Quite often governments are one way and the people are another.
real thinking phones
Please don't think that I am one of those squishy types who can't handle reality. I have plenty of real-world things to deal with all the time. I have deadlines, meetings, I answer the phone, I get turned down, I wait in lines and am forced to pass for normal all the time.
comedian buffets helping
Republicans just can't help themselves. They get in front of a live microphone and within a few sentences are rocketing down the swiftest and most direct route to the all-you-can-eat comedian-and-talk-show-host buffet.
writing years people
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
writing trying heartbreaking
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
people care dont-care
I like people. Rightwingers don't. They like business, they don't care about people. I like education, they seem not to care much about it.
achievement doe looks
Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
love-is damage
Love beyond the damage.
believe president building
I don't believe it mattered to Timothy McVeigh who was president or who his congressional representative was when he blew up the Murrah Building in 1995.
pain sadness thinking
I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things that haunt us our entire lives; we are unable to let them go. The good times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the times that didn't go so well.
