new-york feelings knows
When I am in Africa, I always have the feeling that it's where everything started. When I am in New York, I know it is where everything ended up.
rights movement jazz
For me, jazz will always be the soundtrack of the civil rights movement.
guy talent
I'm not much of an improv guy. That's a talent I don't have.
cynical shooting matter
When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.
art safe boeing
When I read that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had disappeared - a state-of-the-art Boeing 777, said to be an incredibly safe way to travel - I waited patiently for the chance to learn what happened.
spring preparation heat
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
hurt sorry kids
I've never raped or killed anybody, or hurt a kid. I've done all the more inept, high-volume stuff - like, "Whoops, sorry I came in your hair. Don't worry, I won't use your name when I tell this story on stage."
japan confusion way
To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivionated music possible. When it's the 'way out there' that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.
night australia honor
I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn't use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an honor.
law white america
I contribute a large amount of money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, so I'm on their mailing list for all their Klan Watch newsletters. I'm very well aware of White Power movements in America.
military thinking needs
It's hard for me to sympathize with a young person who chooses to go into the military because they know where they're going. I think we need to start depopulating the military.
distance empathy way
When you hear about what someone else is going through, and you are unable to distance yourself from it or in any way muzzle your empathy and are inspired to actually do something, these are moments to learn from.
desert young
When you are young, there is so much ahead of you, it's like the Saharan desert. You can't even see across it.
country years haiti
I have been curious about Haiti for many years. The history of the country is as fascinating as it is turbulent.
