Music is more like water than a rhinoceros. It doesn't charge madly down one path. It runs away in every direction.

I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness. I crave the silhouette of your kiss.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.

I feel like a juggler running out of hands.

I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.

Don't wear your heart on your sleeve when your remarks are off the cuff.

And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it.

Women hear rhythm differently than men.

My body is on fire, aching and clawing at me to set it free. It wants to come out to play alright. It wants recess with Ian. He’s everything I’m not, and I love it.

I miss you so much. I miss us. There’s not a day goes by that I don’t regret walking away from you.

You want to shut up every Negro who has the courage to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, for the rights of workers, and I have been on many a picket line for the steelworkers too.

The ability to convince people of the wackiest notions - and both parties can do it - it's part of the dumbing down of America that's really highly problematic.

It was very pleasant to savor its aroma, for smells have the power to evoke the past, bringing back sounds and even other smells that have no match in the present. -Tita

We're twins, and so we love each other more than other people.

I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

When you get frustrated you try to do too much, you try to make stuff up that's not there, and you play outside yourself.

There's a certain comfort in being in supporting roles because it's not all on you.
