I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book.

Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers, and I guess that's why they call it the blues.

They're [[harmaceuticals companies] just making a killing out of people's death. And they're benefiting by people's suffering. And I find that obscene. I find it ridiculous in this day and age, that that would happen. And it took President Clinton to go to rogue pharmaceutical companies to copy the antiretroviral drugs for a fraction of the cost.

I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.

And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.
