I'm an aspiring writer. I hate that phrase. You're either a writer or you're not.

The greatest gift in life is the ability to think great thoughts and have the strength to take action so that those thoughts become reality in this wonderful and abundant world.

Funny songs, that’s my ticket. I can’t remember when it started or why it started, it’s just something that I NEEDED.

I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights, it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.

You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.

If you're silent for a long time, people just arrive in your mind.

I don't want to make people mad. I just... well, how can people get better if you don't tell them what you honestly think?

Both the mind and "presence" can work beautifully together, in the absence of ego.

If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.

Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves, the misfits.

You'll find superstition a contagious thing. Some people let it get the better of them.

When it comes time to protecting the homeland, the United States of America must be right 100 percent of the time. And the enemy, which desires to strike us again, only has to be right once.

Hate heals, you should try it sometime.

I read mostly science-fiction and fantasy when I was a teenager, and I was always drawn to stories where the characters had telepathic powers.

Those whose life is long still strive for gain, and for all mortals all things take second place to money.
