We can save ourselves, but only if we let go of the myth of dominance and mastery and learn to work with nature.

The reason why nothing sticks to Trump - or very little sticks to Trump - is that Trump created his brand idea that has to do with being the guy who gets away from it. It's this ultimate power through wealth and this dream that represents in an age of tremendous economic precariousness and constrained options for so many people - that watching Trump be able to do whatever he wants to whoever he wants is this obvious vicarious kind of thrill for a certain demographic.

The powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on that most rarefied delicacy: impunity.

I am convinced that climate change represents a historic opportunity on an even greater scale.

We can't leave everything to the free market. In fact, climate change is, I would argue, the greatest single free-market failure. This is what happens when you don't regulate corporations and you allow them to treat the atmosphere as an open sewer.

The task is clear: to create a culture of caretaking in which no one and nowhere is thrown away, in which the inherent value of people and all life is foundational.

We live in this culture of endless extraction and disposal: extraction from the earth, extraction from people's bodies, from communities, as if there's no limit, as if there's no consequence to how we're taking and disposing, and as if it can go on endlessly. We are reaching the breaking point on multiple levels. Communities are breaking, the planet is breaking, people's bodies are breaking. We are taking too much.

Free speech is meaningless if the commercial cacophony has risen to the point where no one can hear you.

It is our great collective misfortune that the scientific community made its decisive diagnosis of the climate threat at the precise moment when an elite minority was enjoying more unfettered political, cultural, and intellectual power than at any point since the 1920s.

Our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction of humanity's use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it's not the laws of nature

Extreme violence has a way of preventing us from seeing the interests it serves.

Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.

You actually cannot sell the idea of freedom, democracy, diversity, as if it were a brand attribute and not reality -- not at the same time as you're bombing people, you can't.

If a relationship is founded on love it doesn't end.

An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results.

The truth knocks on the door and you say, “Go away, I’m looking for the truth,” and so it goes away.

Put your money in your head, that way no one can take it from you.

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

We attract what is happening in our lives

Artists work best alone. Work alone.

In fact, I am actually grateful for what I’ve gone through and wouldn’t change a thing—although I admit I wouldn’t want to live it over again, either. Once was enough.

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

The only reason that you do visual is solely for the visual. That's the only reason. It doesn't sell your music for you.

If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.
