We have, essentially, a worthless democracy.

You know, every time a summer movie comes out, people think they're gonna get rich off of the merchandise.

When the news wants to tell you something is important, they put dramatic theme music behind it. They scare you into watching the story.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.

I'm not a Democrat.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.

You know, Democratic and Republican administrations alike have supported individuals and regimes that have slaughtered millions across the globe. And they need to be held accountable for that.

I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.

Once you give up rights, they're not going to give them back.

Even if you're Bill Gates, you've got problems. I'm sure he would probably easily give a few billion dollars to get rid of all the problems that he has.

The same things go on everywhere, whether you're from the city, the country or wherever.

Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to 'sit down and shut up' over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people.

I try to imagine how we would live if we didn't know we were going to die. Would we live our lives differently? Less careful, maybe? Less scared? These are beautiful things to think about and build a song around.
