My political ideas and things like that even my religion I try to keep close to me because it's a personal thing and I don't shove it down people's throats. I don't condemn any artist that wants to do that like the Baldwins. That's their choice. But in my world I'm just an entertainer.

We need to understand that we are not each others' enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction.
