I fundamentally believe in freedom and human rights.

If you don't have the rights, you can't do the show.

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

Marriage is sacred and protected and has nothing to do with violating our civil rights.

Clericalism is a form of elitism in which some are viewed as having special rights and privileges.

Throughout my life I have cared as deeply about the songs of all peoples as I have about the rights of all peoples.

The World Trade Organization is an organization that defends trade interests. I think the problem is less that they exist. The problem is that internationally we've only got an organization that protects trade interests. Surely we need some kind of counterweight to protect human rights and the environment, too.

Nineteen sixty-eight was one exciting moment in a much larger movement. It spawned a whole range of movements. There wouldn't have been an international global solidarity movement, for instance, without the events of 1968. It was enormous, in terms of human rights, ethnic rights, a concern for the environment, too.

I was proud to march beside some of the most notable Civil Rights activists, such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery.

The NRA is interested in protecting the civil rights of Americans, not protecting the ability of terrorists to get guns.

Countries often prioritise economic interests over human rights - hence all the kowtowing to China.
