Punk is just as much a form of folk music as anything is!

I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world.

Making music should not be left to the professionals.

As I look back over my life, before I had any real identity, I was a traveler. I grew up an Army brat, a runaway, an activist, and a musician. All my life I've been traveling.

I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.

When I grow up I want to be an old woman.

I accepted a change in my life. I didn't choose that change and those are the best changes to make.

Vengeance and revenge are just two words for pain.

Music is too important to be left to professionals.

I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.

I'm one of the few that comes from this vantage point: I never tried to get a record deal.

Who you are as a person far outweighs what you do in an athletic arena.

Gloria was still talking, something about how shooting people was in a sense safer than making art, in terms of avoiding serious lapses in taste.

Power is paradoxical.

I'm able to separate fiction and reality. I guess it remains to be seen if other people are.

Open your ears before you open your mouth, it may surprise your eyes!

While there may be thorns and disappointments, while there may be heartache, even heartbreak, there can be peace and comfort and strength from the Lord for those who follow Him.

I don't talk about success. I don't know what it is. Wait until I'm dead.

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

I have a dream! To be free at last! Free at last! Free at last. And if a man has nothing to die for, Then his life is worth nothing.

People who live in more than two countries are more successful innovators.
