"I accept the Old Testament as more of an action movie: blood, car chases, evacuations, a lot of special effects, seas dividing, mass murder, adultery. The children of God are running amok, wayward. Maybe that's why they're so relatable."

"Technology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that."

"Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you."

"Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It's a technology that brings people together."

"God is so big. It's a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we're small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion."

"It's a privilege to serve the poor, to be servants of noble Africans, but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head."

"It's annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren't they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain."

"Jesus isn't lettin' you off the hook. The Scriptures don't let you off the hook so easily... When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy' ... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself."

"Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words."

"Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today."

"Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building."

"So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality."

"What really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution - this revolution - is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe. What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing."

"You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else."

"You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS."
