• What we need to do is pull the rug out so billionaires in our country wake up one morning and say, wow, 80 percent of the country has a solar panel, and we can't make our billions anymore because other people are making millions, but not billions, on alternative energy that doesn't require war. Suddenly, the war-making machinery is not necessary.

• Hegemony is not defined by rivers or conventional borders - it's dominance, it's influence. So we get to decide in our hearts, are we in Iraq to help restore something, or are we there to establish dominance? How can you torture people and say, well, that's just a few bad apples in our culture?

• Los imperios están condenados. Se vuelven más difusos, más quebrados, gobiernan los demagogos, y por eso estaba señalando algunas similitudes entre los imperios del pasado y lo que está ocurriendo ahora. Todos ellos han tenido que aplicar una retórica cada vez más dura de superioridad y derecho divino para justificar la construcción de la hegemonía.

• I really lucked out with that song ["As Cool As I Am"]. Men were becoming much more comfortable with all the different facets and parts of their identity, including their gentler, funnier, sillier, nurturing parts. They started showing up. There was so much exploration of gender at that time. Women were showing up with the range of ways of being female in the world and men were showing up with the range of being male in the world.

• What was nice about the nineties is that it was an example of music that responded to a desire of the times. It spoke to the social conditions of the times. Women were making more money. Women were saying, "My voice counts. If we're going out on a Friday night, I don't want to see a Rambo movie. I want to go see a singer/songwriter who sings about my life".

• The kind of organic wave, the way that waves move, and I'm not just talking about feminism, the way that a social movement might rise like a wave. It's harder to build any kind of wave now. Things are important to you and then they recede within a day. That's the only thing that keeps me from believing that there's going to be any one organic big wave; although the Americana (music) thing has been happening for a while.

• Empecé a salir con uno de mis jefes y él me hizo crecer en muchos aspectos. No sólo me introdujo en el mundo de los viajes a tiempo completo, que lo era, sino que también estaba muy interesado en la historia y el arte y siguió abriéndome los ojos a la historia regional, a historias menos llamativas. Le interesaban las sociedades históricas y cosas así. Me introdujo en una forma de ver cómo se forman las comunidades que es la base del libro que acabo de terminar y que tiene que ver con lo que yo considero una construcción eficaz de la comunidad allá donde he viajado.

• I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time; having some savings that my managers told me to spend. You fly all over the country opening for these other people. You pay a publicist to get some press while you're establishing yourself and you will be solvent in this career forevermore.

• Muchas de las canciones son bastante desenfadadas. Si escuchas "As Cool As I Am", no es muy diferente de lo que escuchabas de Ani DiFranco y otras artistas independientes de la época. Seguía estando en ese contexto, seguía considerándose música folk.

• Every once in a while I'll say something...I dropped the F-bomb early on in my career. There was this lesbian couple and they looked super-hip. One of them looked at me and shook her head, like "Don't do that." I think she was doing it to say, "It doesn't work." She didn't say anything but it was this cautionary moment. I knew it didn't work. There are just so many other words to choose from.

• En Mortal City influyó mucho la geografía. [The Ocean" es el noroeste del Pacífico. El sur de California y New York también aparecen en las canciones, así como Iowa. "February" tiene mucho que ver con Nueva Inglaterra. "Mortal City" es Filadelfia. Todo el álbum es un paisaje antropomorfizado en el que las metáforas viven en esta geografía.
