I try to just take in every moment of being alive.

I think that just being alive inspires me.

I know it sounds very cliché and not very exciting, but if I'm outdoors - in the wild or the ocean or the forest - it inspires me.

You keep on going if you fail.

I strongly believe that whenever there's failure or you feel like you've failed, it's only just the beginning, and you can only learn from it.

Failure can only open more doors for you as a person and as growth and life.

I try to do yoga. I really enjoy stretching and having a nice yoga class or taking a run on the beach. I'm not a big fan of the gym. I try to be out as much as possible.

While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.

You see, I believe that you cannot be taught to 'write.' You can be taught grammar and punctuation, but you cannot be taught to be a writer. That has to come from within.

I am a fool, fools tend to follow their hearts amidst ridicule.

I am losing my Soviet citizenship, I do not cease to be a Russian poet. I believe that I will return. Poets always return in flesh or on paper.

Both happy and sad people can be cheered up by a nice meal.

I just want everyone to know that 20,000 gun laws in the United States are unconstitutional. They infringe on your right to protect your life, the lives of your loved ones, and your property.

Everything depends on which path you take.
