“I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.”

“Don't Ask Me Nothing About Nothing, I Just Might Tell You the Truth ”

“Who am I helping, what am I breaking, what am I giving, what am I taking?”

“There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I'm trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. They have got nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about the general people and when they get hurt.”

“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”

“You don't have to be afraid of looking into my face. We've done nothing to each other that time will not erase.”

“Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.”
