I'm always suspicious of really beautiful women telling us we shouldn't be worried about beauty.

When I say that human beings are just gene machines one shouldn't put too much emphasis on the word 'just.' There is a very great deal of complication and indeed beauty in being a gene machine.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.

Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.

All good criticism should be judged the way art is. You shouldn't read it the way you read history or science.

Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.

In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad who was very racist didn't like that at all. And he told her one time 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.'

I have a right to my anger and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be that it's not nice to be and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.

We shouldn't feel restricted by our sexuality and our sexuality doesn't have to be a cultural choice. That's an amazing variety of music within those five main performers.
