I just want my children to be happy. I want my children to be healthy.

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.

I'm sorry for breaking down when I should've been stitching myself back up

my life is just waiting for you to get started.

Secrets interest us all, I think.

The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed.

Trying to change the outer is like seeing your unclean or unshaven face in the mirror and trying to shave or clean the mirror.

I need to learn how to start saying no. Like when someone says ‘please stop choking me.’

When we are headed the wrong way, the last thing we need is progress.
