The Foundation Of My Beliefs Is The Same As It Was When I Was 10. Non-violence.

In Other Words, It Is What I Do In The World That Matters. When I Traveled For Three Months In The Mideast, The Places I Wanted To Go Back To Were Turkey And The Gaza Strip.

"diamonds & Rust" Started Off As Another Song. Then The Words Started To Morph. When You Write A Song That Deep, The Words Come From Some Place Else. But When The Songs Stop Coming, It Would Be So Contrived To Try And Force It. Since Then I've Just Been Doing Other People's Music.

I Don't Think Of Myself As A Symbol Of The Sixties, But I Do Think Of Myself As A Symbol Of Following Through On Your Beliefs.
