While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life. ↗

In this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die. ↗

I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don't see why anybody does. ↗

Well, I've been in the political arena all of my life, and 10 years of that as a candidate and elected official, and that's about enough. ↗
