“Just keep putting out music.”

I want to say a little something that’s long overdue, the disrespect to women has got to be through.

All of it has an effect.

It feels good to play a little music / Tears running down my face ’cause I love to do it

I’m not just talking about what you put on a record – even just walking into a store and how you interact with the person behind the checkout counter.

Like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything.

People need to be more aware of how they’re affecting people.

When I was younger, I felt like I could say anything and it was funny.

Some real well thought out stuff. But I don’t know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.

I won’t sell my songs for no TV Ad.

I was always tearing stuff apart to see how it worked.

Like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything.

I think every person has the ability to affect change…through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people.

I love the flow of the game. There’s a certain fluidity to basketball. I don’t enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.

It’s pretty easy to see that… wealth doesn’t really equal happiness.

We just play whatever we’re into. For a while there, we weren’t listening to too much rap stuff, ’cause there wasn’t anything interesting.

As former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano pointed out, if you build a 50-foot wall, you’ll soon be confronted with a 51-foot ladder.

But in truth, life turns out to be more like the patchwork cloths-bits and pieces, odds and ends-people, places, things we never expected, never wanted, perhaps.

It’s not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It’s a picture of somebody trying to figure things out.

As the centuries unfold, millions of artists will live on the moon and paint the moon and Mars as we go out into the universe.

Selling out was frowned on, whereas now you can major in it at business school.

Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

We might just as well let the rest of it go, join the party, and dance our hearts out.

There’s a familiarity that sometimes shocks and annoys the hell out of me.
