• Calling for US troops exit from Iraq: "I just don't want American troops to be in Iraq, period. My feelings are can we just all get out? Global terror is everywhere. Global terror is down the street, around the block. Global terror is in California. There's global terror everywhere and it's absurd to think you can get it by going to one country and dropping tons of bombs on innocent people."
• "Well I didn't actually meet that many famous people and not so famous but we all have one thing in common, we want to create peace in the world."
• On reports that a music video for her song, "American Life," carries a strong anti-war message: "I am not anti-Bush. I am not pro-Iraq. I am pro-peace.

• "There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don't think, Oh God, I'm missing something."
