"I used to think that the world was doing something to me, that the world owed me something. And that either the conservatives or the socialists or the fascists or the communists or the Christians or the Jews or the fascists were doing something to me. And when you're a teeny-booper, that's what you think. I'm 40 now, I don't think that anymore-because I found out it doesn't fucking work. I am part of them. There's no separation. Were all one. 'Give peace a chance,' not 'Shoot people for peace.' 'All you need is love.' I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it."
