“Everybody has a responsibility for what they put out into the world.”

Music is going to go in some direction that is entirely inconceivable now.

Don’t think whether it’s a hit or not and people will get you.

Rather than trying to figure out what other people should be doing, work on your own interactions in the world and whatever influence they have.

It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism – because that’s mainly what I’ve been exposed to – was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction.

That’s the strange thing about making a record.

China is one of the last huge dictatorships, holding on to these colonies, provinces.

The situation with Tibet has to change.

That has to collapse. It’s the responsibility of heads of business who are going to do business in China to lay down the law.

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

I believe that things are always going to work out, even if in the beginning it doesn’t look like they are working out. I know in the long run they are going to work out, and it’s going to be fine.

Despite our differences, I know that both Republicans and Democrats love America.

a writer doesn’t only need the time when he’s actually writing – he or she has got to have time to think and time just to let things work out. Nothing is worse for this than society. Nothing is worse for this than the abrasive, if enjoyable, effect of other people.

The biggest thing is to make sure that when something comes out about you that is false that you prove it’s not true.

When I went off to college in 1997, I didn’t go back and watch ‘Conan.’ I was out partying and dating women.

Childhood is a disease – a sickness that you grow out of.

You know, I don’t want to stand out too much.

In various and different circumstances certain objects and individuals are going to turn out to be vital. The wager of survival cannot, by its nature, reveal which, in advance of events.
