“I can’t make you love me if you don’t, You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t.”

I stare into a thin, web-like crack above the urinal’s handle and think to myself that if I were to disappear into that crack, say somehow miniaturize and slip into it, the odds are good that no one would notice I was gone.

We’ve found some things that are suspicious in nature, and we’re going to err on the side of caution.

I have been really heartened by how much coverage there has been about inequality of pay across the board, between the entertainment industry and almost every industry worldwide.

Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it.

I have a really full life, both within music and outside it.

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp.

One of the biggest obstacles I’ve overcome in my life was thinking I didn’t deserve to be successful.

Pat Benatar might need a rock band, but I can just sit with a blues guitar for an hour and a half and do folk songs and great contemporary ballads, and not many people can pull that off.

I always write the script by myself.

The anti-nuke movement has important and far-reaching implications for grassroots organizing.

Elvis might have compromised his musical style a bit towards the end, but that doesn’t mean that artists from the rock n’ roll/folk-roots culture – of which he was not really a part – shouldn’t get better as they get older, like the great jazz or blues artists.

I can’t make you love me, if you don’t.

I have a soft side that I like people to see. I’m not mean. That’s just football. That’s just the way you’ve got to go. You can’t go into a game that is that violent and be soft. You can’t be that way.

The fact is that this conversation is going on at every level at every age, we’re all going, “God, what a jerk I’ve been,” “How could I have married that guy?” or “How could I have done this or that?” With time, this is the gift of being older, that you get to look back and say, “It wasn’t all about them.”

We did a two month tour with Taj Mahal that was really healing and cathartic and a good distraction after my brother passed away. Then I knew I wanted to take a year off, and it was really nice to have that chance to fall apart.

It can unite kids and musicians, everybody, whether they’re leftist or rightist, or radical, or Republican, because energy is energy. But in fact, it is a real political struggle – it shows people that it’s big business against the people.

I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Maybe Lewis G Carroll was on drugs too.

A really intelligent man feels what other men only know.

Shakespeare feels very natural to me.

I feel a kinship with anyone who feels that their road, their life or who they really are is not good enough. I really relate to that.

We feel pain for every Syrian victim.

Your business is a part of yourself. Should it be? Who knows, but it sure feels that way. You can never really leave it.

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.
