“I’ve never read one book about my father.”

The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.

My father’s songs don’t intimidate me; my father’s songs are my songs. My songs are his songs. There’s no intimidation.

I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.

The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It’s about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.

The more you discover, the more you feel, until it becomes a part of you.

I always enjoy hearing different musical interpretations of the music.

I am a compassionate human being. I am who I am.

I always enjoy hearing different musical interpretations of the music.

It’s hard to say a favorite song of my father’s. I listen to all his stuff; a lot of the old stuff before the ’70s.

True music makes true fans.

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They’re always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you’re doing something right.

I like doing nothing, actually. Doing nothing is better thing when I am not working.

We can overcome the obstacles through human unity.

Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more.

A couple of people can literally make a whole forest of a difference.

Books are not only the arbitrary sum of our dreams, and our memory. They also give us the model of self-transcendence.

Programming is a skill best acquired by practice and example rather than from books.

There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.

Book tours are super hard for me as a raging introvert. I love humanity, but actual humans are hard for me. So something like a book tour – where I’m constantly on the road – scares the hell out of me.

I wrote in my first book that I was broken, and now it just makes me mad every time. This is why writing words in books is so precarious. This is why Jesus only wrote in the sand, right? I just – I hate that I wrote that.

I’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.

We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter – and to write it in the books of law.

The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
