stars hard-times rocks
You know, rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don't really accept it. It's not really that tangible. What's really bizarre is how it's used as a thing - you know, 'He's the rock star of politics,' 'He's the rock star of quarterbacks' - like it's the greatest thing in the world.
community balance seems
It seems like a necessary balance to life, being part of the community.
wish may matter
You feel that no matter what's said in the music or how pointed it may get, the most you can wish for is that it plants a few seeds.
war people body
No music is going to stop the war. What's going to stop the war is a large amount of body bags, or a large amount of people in the streets, protesting it before it starts.
beautiful trying lines
There's been times when I've been standing in a line at a movie and someone's hit me with something really heavy about someone really close and how our music has helped them get through it. Even in our darkest moments we try and find something beautiful.
people watches scar
It's the ones without scars - those are the people you have to watch out for...
shoes producers oh-well
Isn't Timbaland a make of shoe? It's a producer? I don't know who that is. Oh well.
art thinking may
Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
mom dad kids
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.
calm type persons
I've never been a calm, midrange type person.
real rocks guy
We went from an era when rock 'n' roll meant wearing a bustier as a woman and these spandex things and guys trying to portray someone that wasn't realistic. We are trying to make it seem real... relate to our lives.
father perfect singers
You can't be perfect. You can't be the perfect father. You can't be the perfect singer.
music believe fads
I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.
hurt war fall
War hurts. It hurts no matter which sides the bombs are falling on.
