My Dad Was A [theodor] Roosevelt Democrat.

I Don't Buy The Whole Mythology Of The Sixties. I Think I'm An Intergenerational Person.

My Father Lived With Me The Last Five Years Of His Life And Passed Away Of Alzheimer's, And At That Point He Was Saying To Anyone Who Would Listen, "we All Hated The War In Vietnam." Well, It Was Easy To Hate The War In Vietnam 40 Years On.

Being An Activist And An Artist - Those Two Things Should Go Together. You Should Allow The Artistic Sensibility To Control Some Of Your Activism, But Never Should It Be Allowed To Paralyze You.

I'm Not Disappointed In [barack] Obama. He Said Who He Is; He's Doing What He Said He Would Do.

The Idea That You Live Your Life In Phases - I've Never Bought That. I Feel Like I'm The Same Person Who Sat In At The Draft Board In 1965, I'm The Same Person Who Joined A Fraternity, I'm The Same Person Who Got An Mfa At Bennington, And I'm The Same Person Who Founded Weather Underground. My Values Are Still Intact.
