With Napster and the sharing of music of course there are going to be people who exploit it. Greed has no end. But there's a lot of good that could happen. We shouldn't let the economic concerns of the major labels infringe on our freedom to share music.

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh I don't get involved in politics ' as if that makes someone cleaner. No that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

'Caught' is a novel of forgiveness and the past and the present - who should be and who shouldn't be forgiven. None of my books are ever just about thrills or it won't work.

Older people shouldn't eat health food they need all the preservatives they can get.

There's a definite responsibility that comes with being famous. You shouldn't be able to just dress up and look pretty.

Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

I come from a family of very devout praying people. That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.

If people choose to live their life in a way that does not confront the more troubling aspects of their experience that's fine if it works for them. But it will probably make them uncomfortable if they come up against somebody like me. So they just shouldn't! They shouldn't read my work!

You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails you think 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.

There's full consensus in the military that women shouldn't be in person-to-person combat. I don't know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.

I think newspapers shouldn't try to compete directly with the Web and should do what they can do better which may be long-form journalism and using photos and art and making connections with large-form graphics and really enhancing the tactile experience of paper.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

You know it shouldn't just be about women as heroic figures overcoming things it just needs to be about women in general getting the opportunity to play a multitude of roles telling a multitude of stories - just to express human experience from a woman's perspective. I hope someday we can get to that point. I'm all about representation.

We talk about you know diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

In my own relationships I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be you shouldn't be dating them.

My dad remembers being in school with my uncle and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn't be trusted.

I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said 'You're too young to be married'. 'What? I'm 35'. Said 'You're far too young. You haven't lived yet'. He was right bless him thanks Dad.

I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.

White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film and made to look so cool and so sexy but violence is a repulsive repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy ever really.

I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems you really shouldn't be acting like Don Juan.

I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son you shouldn't do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished and when you're done don't make your hobby your job.

What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life but the problem is I chose a business saturated in judgment.

You shouldn't be in the music business if you're posing.
