I have a picture of myself in my mind as I walk around every day, until I look in the mirror-and then I'm stunned

My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle.

Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called life.

I've come to believe that whoever I am didn't start on December 14, 1946, and isn't going to end on whatever that mysterious date is in the future

I can't tell you what I had for breakfast, but I can sing every single word of rock and roll

I feel the need to scream, and even if the scream is not answered, I find my sanity in the echo.

I hold that without truth and nonviolence there can be nothing but destruction of humanity.

I'm running for president because I want to change the direction of this country, and it will require me for the time being to miss some votes in the U.S.
