I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent.

I was drawn to biology and history and, of course, art. And I loved languages. The biggest problem I had is that I wasn’t taught about the connections between all these things. I think that would have given life a lot more meaning and it would be a lot more enjoyable.

I remember working with Ray Charles when I was quite young, and I would wonder, ‘Why would he sing ‘Georgia On My Mind’ and ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’ every night?’ I said, ‘Oh my God if I have to sing these songs, if I have to sing ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’ one more night, I’m going to fall out.’ Of course, I was young and I didn’t understand.

What has been happening more lately — of course, I also put in my bio, I say I do the voice of Goliath, but some people go — you know, I say something, and it’s a funny thing when you work in this business, people will talk out loud in front of you like you’re not there.

Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.
