We talk about defining moments, but I think nothing can define you. They're all refining moments. You're constantly refining yourself and refining your life.
One of the great exercises you can do is to stop and acknowledge the colors around you... If you're constantly distracting yourself, then you're never really experiencing anything fully. It can cause you to feel like you have no center, like nothing is grounding you.
I look at my hands and go, 'Hmm...what happened? Whose hands are those? Oh my God, they're mine'
I try to conduct my life with a little levity.
I've been really, really blessed. I got to perform on stage with Bob Dylan. I've gotten to sing with Mick Jagger.
A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.
Steve McQueen was from a time when you didn't know every little dirty thing about our public figures. He and James Dean were very mysterious, archetypal American heroes.
I hate how I've had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We've had some issues, but that is the nature of business.
Every night on the stop global warming college tour, Laurie and I would tell these great young people that they have the power to do anything they want. That we all have the power to create a movement for change. That the best part of ourselves is the part that rises up instinctively from compassion.
I have a golden Lab who goes everywhere with me. He's a great leveler.
I pride myself on finding balance. I love making music and I love raising my boys - I find time to make both a priority.
Being diagnosed with cancer really opened my eyes to the fact anyone can have it and that even though we think we have control over everything in our lives, we don't.
Artists have really never had any representation on Capitol Hill, because it's not the nature of the artist to join together and make a unified presence. Those days kind of died in the '60s.
When "news stories" are broken, do we not expect a certain amount of fact-checking or source-checking? One has to ask if this falls under the guise of sloppy reporting or deception as a source of spin. We seem to accept a certain amount of deception and we seem to be helpless to doing anything about it, as illustrated so clearly by where we are right now in this moment in our history.
