“Growth is the mantra of our society because the economy can't remain healthy without growth.Impregnable monopolies aside (and these are few), profits are both the hallmark of capitalism and its Achilles heel, for no business can permanently maintain its prices much above its costs. There is only one way in which profits can be perpetuated; a business-or an entire economy-must grow.”
“Then I got this idea in my head that magazines were like a gallery and if you got your magazine page ripped out and someone stuck it on their refrigerator, then that was a museum â€“ someoneâ€™s private museum.”
“People keep asking me if recently performing the Betty album will influence the song-writing and I think it might. There's songs on that record that I forgot about and it's really nice to have that variety in the set along with tracks from Strap It On, Meantime, Aftertaste, Size Matters, Monochrome, and Seeing Eye Dog.”
“I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.”

“Winning teams have the least amount of distractions. They have a really tight group of people working towards the same common goal.”
“I like the U.S. and feel gratitude towards it.”
“Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.”
“I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.”
