I get a lot of shit because I put I in the lyrics all the time. The I is always for someone else... When I say I, it's so that when that person is singing along with the song, it empowers them.

Songs sung under duress are often very powerful.

The more I learn about Mr. Romney, the less there is to admire.

I think more tolerance, more people having more access to a chance to be literate, and a chance to stay healthy makes for a more peaceful planet.
