Harriet Beecher Stowe

I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.

In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.

Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.

I grew up in Ann Arbor, about 25 miles west of Detroit. And when you grow up in that area, you get a healthy dose of Motown automatically.

The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.

I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power.
