I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world.

Theres nothing but spirit in music. Thats all it is. Yeah, theres a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, its all spirit.

I'm not a mass-appeal artist.

I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.

I wasn't a very good teacher.

Moments of solitude are the holiest moments to think wisely!

Corporate polluters, their phony think tanks and political toadies like to marginalize environmentalists as tree huggers, or radicals. But there is nothing radical about clean air or water.
