I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.

The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

The hardest song to write is a protest song, a topical song with meaning.

That's all nonviolence is - organized love.

To sing is to love and affirm, _x000D_ to fly and to soar, _x000D_ to coast into the hearts of the people _x000D_ who listen _x000D_ to tell them that life is to live, _x000D_ that love is there, _x000D_ that nothing is a promise, _x000D_ but that beauty exists, _x000D_ and must be hunted for and found.

The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
