The best kind of comedy to me is when you make people laugh at things they've never laughed at, and also take a light into the darkened corners of people's minds, exposing them to the light.

Don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.

Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.

I call the Lancashire trade immoral, because it was raised and is sustained on the ruin of millions of India's peasants.

There's still injustice happening in my world. I sing my songs at concerts and I'm so grateful that the people are ready to hear them.
