I'm not a spy for Russia or China or any other country for that matter.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Your rights matter, because you never know when you're going to need them.

It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised - and it should be.

I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.

Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.

Privacy matters; privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.

The US government still has no idea what documents I have because encryption works

Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?

Know that your heart can be deployed to wherever the Lord sends you in prayer

As I drift through the autumn of my life like a fallen leaf blown about by the winds of time, I sometimes ponder my destiny.

When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.

Trust everybody, but cut the cards.

To tell you the truth, I've never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it's hard to say.

Each work seems to give me the most trouble at the time I'm working on it.

Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.

I still play the same kit that I used on the very first album. It's an old Tama Superstar that I bought in 1983.

Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.
