“Creationists mainly are Americans who think the world was created in 1982 to coincide with the rise of Supertramp, but you can very easily dispute this by playing some of Supertramp's earlier albums.”

“I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.”

“But I also see a problem where a lot of people don't believe in the American idea anymore. The condition of your birth doesn't determine the outcome of your life. This is America, you can make it. You work hard, play by the rules, you can rise, you can do well. That's what we're taught, that's what we believe, that's what we think of as America. Problem is, there are just generations of people in this country who do not think that.”

“Were all men equal to-night, some would get the start by rising an hour earlier to-morrow.”

“I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me.”

“You'll do what you think you want to do, or what you think you ought to do. If you're very lucky, luckier than anybody I know, the two will coincide.”

“The creative writer does the same as the child at play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously.”

“Some are born to move the world, to live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about the things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die, then never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee…
-- Losing It (1982)”

“This new album, it’s basically, I’m trying to satisfy everyone with this new album. Because when you release a new album you can choose either to be mainstream or go old school, but for this album I’m pretty much both of it.”

“Let us see what we have done for this world? Some people are busy chasing the world, some are dizzy interpreting the world. But very few focus on making and creating a better world.”
