I never knew Kurt to be suicidal. I just knew that he was going through a really tough time.

I have been a provoker and I'll probably always be one in the public arena for the rest of my life.

It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it.

I really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.

The pleasure of other people is a byproduct of the pleasure that comes from yourself so I cannot judge or look down on someone who does whatever they feel like doing.

Big business, elite media and major donors are throwing money at Hillary Clinton because they have total control over every single thing she does. She is their puppet and they pull the strings.

If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough.

I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!

In its Roman-era setting, for example, Christianity was so different that critics of the time referred to it as a "superstition" (meaning a bogus or dangerous religion).

Social democracy.. is only the advance guard of the proletariat, a small piece of the total working masses; blood from their blood, and flesh from their flesh.
