It's not really into the big mass movement in music that I want to do, you know.
In World War II all these countries were completely against each other, complete opposite. Now we're getting them all together, through the idea of music.
In order to change the world, I guess a person would have to really get his head together first before he can say anything to the world, to change it.
Well, obviously religion must come from inside.
If 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind.
I wanted to be listened to. I don't know if they were or not, though.
Of course war is horrible, but at present it's still the only guarantee of peace.
With any new civilization... they have to have their own officers and police and governments and all that.
A person would have to change himself in order to be a living example of what he's singing about.
I believe everybody should have a room where they get rid of all their releases. So my room was a stage.
There was a period when I stopped talking so much, because I was just going through certain things. I just did the gigs and just stayed in, tried to stay away.
I guess it would be if I wanted to, just lay back and predominantly write songs when I can't go on a stage anymore.

I think it would count more, if we did less personal appearances.
