I have decided to tell the world that I accept my homosexuality and celebrate this gift that life has given me.

I didn't go around the world, I went around the world on a private jet. I didn't have a hotel room, we had an entire floor. We were spoiled.

During my sabbatical, I spent two years not listening to my songs at all.

Love, acceptance, friends, two kids that I love. I have to take care of myself for them. I've also been a vegetarian for two years.

Everyday begins like a blank chalkboard, on which each one of us can write the poem of our present and our dreams for the future.

What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment.

Life is like a great teacher..... she will repeat the lesson until you learn.

Getting caught masturbating sucks. I got caught masturbating in jail 7 or 8 times, it really sucks.

And when you feel the heat, the world is at your feet.

Children aren't just our future. They're our present.

Buddhism has a very beautiful teaching that says the worst thing you can do to your soul is to tell someone their faith is wrong.

There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.

Solitude scares me. It makes me think about love, death, and war. I need distraction from anxious, black thoughts.

I am in love with this green Earth.

Work harder, work longer, and earn less because the mafia needs your money.

Certainly the interest in asserting copyright is a justified one.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Ignorance is not bliss — it is oblivion. Determined ignorance is the hastiest kind of oblivion.

So round and round you go, spinning mental wheels and nowhere finding anyplace to get traction. What the hell...is it?
