Arlo Guthrie

There's only one God. Call him whatever you want.

The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.

Greed and globalization aren't just America's fault.

There are people all over the world who are willing to exploit others. You can't just point the finger at America.

We live in an increasingly sophisticated world that makes it difficult to make simple comments on stuff. There are too many people on both sides of the border who are taking advantage of circumstances and the situation.

Building walls isn't going to work in the long run. Some people are happy with the wall in Israel, but somebody will get a weapon someday and knock it over or something. Walls aren't the answer between countries, though.

I don't do anything on stage that allows me to become a trained seal, where you're just doing the same thing over and over.

My only description for me is that there's no throwaway people. That's the creed that I live by. It doesn't matter if I'm singing or not. That's the kind of person that my father and mother wanted me to be. The end obligation is to make people feel good about who they are.

My mother had introduced me to a lot of my father's friends because she believed that I would get to know the guy my dad was better through his friends than just in the hospital visits.
