• Me encontraba a pocas millas al sur de Louisville cuando planeé mi viaje. Extendí mi mapa bajo un árbol y me decidí a atravesar Kentucky, Tennessee y Georgia hasta Florida, de allí a Cuba y de allí a alguna parte de Sudamérica; pero sólo será un paseo apresurado. Estoy agradecido, sin embargo, por tanto.

• I won't perform in Cuba until there's no more Castro and there's a free Cuba. To me, Cuba's the biggest prison in the world, and I would be very hypocritical were I to perform there.

• Our tragedy today is not just that millions of people who called themselves communist or socialist were physically liquidated in Vietnam, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, not just that China and Russia, after all that revolution, have become capitalist economies, not just that the working class has been ruined in the United States and its unions dismantled, not just that Greece has been brought to its knees, or that Cuba will soon be assimilated into the free market - it is also that the language of the Left, the discourse of the Left, has been marginalised and is sought to be eradicated.

• The inaction of the international community towards Guatemala is injustifiable. The community should play an active role with concrete measures and sanctions imposed, as was the case in South Africa, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Cuba and Haiti. Why for us no? Why legalize death in one place and somewhere else no? This is clear in our memories.

• The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.

• Cuba es un país en el que soy más optimista debido a su naturaleza única, a 90 millas de nuestras costas, con una enorme población de ex-patriotas, ahora cubano-americanos, que aún mantienen profundos vínculos con la isla. Allí confío más en que, con el tiempo, los vientos del comercio, las telecomunicaciones y los viajes empiecen a cambiar la naturaleza de ese régimen. Pero es un país pequeño que tiene una relación casi única con nosotros.

• The death of Fidel Castro, of course, is not as significant when you first look at it, because Raul Castro, his brother, has been in power for years. But, in fact, he's been a looming figure even during his illness that I think has made a difference in holding us back in trying to open up more negotiations and move ahead with opening up relations between America and Cuba.
