Whoever controls the media, controls the mind

I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think.

No one thought up being. He who thinks he has, step forward.

I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic....That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong....The only solution is to confront them - confront yourself - with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free....

I think, in these days, especially in the States, you have to be a politician or an assassin or something, to really be a superstar.

I think that phrase is the most horrible phrase in the English language - 'I don't know.' It's terribly embarrassing.

The best songs just come unasked for. You don't have to think about them. Summer is a good time for songs.

I wonder why people like to believe I'm high all the time. I guess . . . maybe they think someone else can take their trip for them.
