I like being around people.

You don’t even really need a place. But you feel like you’re doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.

I like to reminisce with people I don’t know.

There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern… No, Sir; there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

Fan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It’s a force of luv.

My mom and my dad were both very sociable, meeting lots of interesting people.

I really miss being able to blend in with people.

If I had to describe myself to an alien I’d say I was bigger than the average human, enjoy a drink or two with a good meal and have a bigger head than most. I’d also say I’m really handsome – especially if they were a female alien.

So, do you live around here often?

One does not leave a convivial party before closing time.

Our goal is to make it so there’s as little friction as possible to having a social experience.

What can I say? I’m a talker.

A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.

Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention. You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

I don’t know how to work a room. It’s a real skill.

My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.

Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

I am a great friend of public amusements, they keep people from vice.

I live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it’s always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we’ll be dancing until the early hours to the island’s band, the Front Line.

Trying to meet new women, it’s always a little more difficult as opposed to calling somebody I knew that’s single and trying to rebuild that connection.

I don’t think there is a single social issue I haven’t spoken on.

There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.

What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.

I’ve missed out on a lot of things, going out with friends.

I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.

Democracy is a daring concept – a hope that we’ll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people.

I like learning more about people; I like to talk to people.

It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.

There are times when I feel like I’m a traveling minister. I’m trying to go out and get kids to pick-up yard sale instruments and change the world.

Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.

House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad.

I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.

My family is very good about visiting me, and other friends as well.

I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

I’m not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

I’ve been fighting with Acorn, alongside Acorn, on issues you care about, my entire career.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.

Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.

How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.

I like to get in among a set of people and get to know them very well.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

I’m pretty laid-back in real life. I just love hanging with my friends and making jokes. The jokes don’t stop – literally, all day.

In terms of my involvement in ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and marriage equality and anti-bullying and social emotional learning in schools – these are all things that arise out of my relationship with the world and with my fans.

That’s why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I’m always the last one to leave.

I like sitting and writing with my buddies.

Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.

It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.

For a while… to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don’t want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen… I don’t want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.

Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

If I ever go to West Africa, it would probably be for a free concert. I would want to do something for the people there. Maybe we can make a whole event, the way Bob Marley would have done it. Just for the people. And if they climb over the gate, let them climb over the gate.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?
