“You get inspired and you can go write one song from that, and then you go back and play a few shows. If I could’ve done that in the 90s, I would have.”

Maybe I’ll be a feminist in my old age.

Maybe it’s just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it’s always going to be there.

In business, you try to solve problems.

I try not to be either optimistic or pessimistic. I try not to think about outcomes on that scale. My job, it seems to me, is to wake up every morning and figure out how to cause as much trouble for the fossil fuel industry as I can.

You’re a coward if you don’t stand up. Not for you, but for women. Say something.

I’m no buddhist, but this is fu**ing enlightmentment

I am my own person. What I’m doing, I’m happy with it. I’m doing what I want to.

I’ve always had as many powerful, creative ladies in my life as I have men, and you could probably describe some of those relationships as romantic.

Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature – it’s the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.

Every time there’s a new format, the iron is hot, and you can mold it.

It seems that most the world is driven by the eye, right? They design cities to look great but they always sound horrible …

Formats are just illusions, and it’s about the relationship between the person that makes music and the person that listens to music.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It’s an emergency.

All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals…and they killed Elvis Presley.

I would rather be on a roller coaster life going through hell and back to appreciate the glory instead of having it all at once.

A little philosophy carries a man from God, but a great deal brings him back again.

The only person thats gonna hold you back is yourself

You know, it felt like him reverting back to what was in his bones and that’s, you know, optimism and a deep belief in, you know, American institutions and the American people.

Men commit murder and all sorts of mayhem, in a few years they’re back on the streets.

I’m sorry to inform you that your 50 year warranty has expired on your back, knees, and memory.

You remember that stuff and laugh about it now. You don’t feel it the way you did back then when you were so scared and nervous and tired and hungry.

I couldn’t wait to go on tour back then. I would be sitting at my day job or my apartment, just itching to go. There were so many adventures that were about to happen.
