knowing life secret time
The secret of a long life is knowing when it's time to go.
afford move sweet women
Some women can be sweet because they don't know how else to move through the world. I'm sweet because I can afford to be.
alive aspects beauty brought citizens common cultural faults generous grace hope humanity knowledge lives miss musical nature order quality repulsive richness seen share transform treasure ugly uplift vast
There is no one like him alive today. He was a vast treasure trove and storehouse of musical and cultural knowledge and the richness that he has brought into all of our lives is immeasurable. He was a generous spirit, overlooking faults in order to see the common humanity that we all share and this is the quality that I will miss the most. For a man who has seen some of the most repulsive and ugly aspects of human nature to transform that knowledge into the beauty and grace that he does is an uplift and hope for citizens of the world.

sincere
Yeah, I am a hick. I am naive, and I am sincere and it's wonderfully unfashionable.
american-musician consuming created gotta lacks music word
I think the word soul has gotta come into it. Music that's created just for consuming lacks that soul, that swing, that feeling.
american-musician mistakes
I'm a perfectionist, which I think is a mistake.
movement way firsts
They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second.
media culture mainstream
Mainstream media would convince you that there's commercial culture and that's all - but this other music is still here.
responsibility thinking noses
At one time I was a nihilistic punk with a mohican and a ring in my nose. I think in the course of time I'll find a middle ground, but I also carry that sense of responsibility. I'm in a position to defeat stereotypes.
children parent world
What kind of religion is it that would encourage the parent to shelter the child from any outside influences and punish it by putting it out in a world you never had any way of learning about?
i-can
I can't tell you where I'm going . . . but I can tell you where I come from.
appreciation thinking would-be
The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven't quite managed that yet.
heart way logic
Ideals are not something I can control. It's not logic that convinces me of something, it's what my heart says. My heart has a way of involving me in things, which can only be good for the music.
