Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.

Things were a lot simpler in Detroit. I didn't care about anything but boyfriends.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

Las Vegas is the expression, in glitter and concrete, of America's brittle and mutating id.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
