Plus you know when I was young there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing and I always also believed that it released the audience.

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

I want to say a little something that's long overdue the disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends I wanna offer my love and respect till the end.

I really don't spend any time on the Internet so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

I've been a little bit obsessed with religion without being a religious person for about a decade.

The little religion that I have clung to-that what matters most is the continuity of life and its improvement from one generation to another.

I was little there were times I wanted my parents to be normal. I wanted them to have a religion. I wanted them to have a job like the parents of every other kid I went to school with.

When law and duty are one united by religion you never become fully conscious fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.

Liberalism is a religion. Its tenets cannot be proved its capacity for waste and destruction demonstrated. But it affords a feeling of spiritual rectitude at little or no cost.
