"Your right in a civilized society is to have freedom."

"Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage.

And they are extremely tricky, because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum."

"One cannot imagine St. Francis of Assisi talking about rights."

"It is more informative how we treat things with no defined legal rights, than how we treat things with legal rights."

"People that have a police car behind them pulling them over should put on their hazard lights and continue slowly driving to the nearest densely populated public place, such as a supermarket or shopping center. Pull over outside the busy entrance and start your video camera. Inform the police officer that you are video recording and very slowly give the requested documentation. Exercise your legal right to silence while the many independent witnesses video record the unexpected stop that rudely interrupts your day. If you are given a ticket, choose to go to court. It will give you time to obtain independent legal advice about the allegation."

"If we had loads of money as a family, things would be different and they'd come to visit more and I'd get to spend more time here. But I'm laying down roots in America so when I'm there, just being at home, it's harder to break away from that."

"Just the same way I'd say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention."

"Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show."
