I will do whatever I have to do to reach people with the things I believe are important. Life is too short not to do everything you can.

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value; you don't have to go along with any of this; you can think for yourself.

I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted.

I felt like a seed in a pomegranate. Some say that the pomegranate was the real apple of Eve, fruit of the womb, I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.

Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation.

The Sun is never alone as the light remains with him always. Even when he goes down sinking...sinking, the light drowns with him

I would love to play the villain, but again, it sort of what happens in this industry.

To love unconditionally requires no contracts, bargains or agreements.

We must move "out of our mind" and dwell in our consciousness.

Rest is sweet after strife.

Maybe I’m weak for music men. Maybe I’m weak, period. But I couldn’t deny I was charmed by his arrogant, fool-ish guise.

If simplicity were easy, we would see more of it.

I grew up in the church, singing in choirs, and I went to a performing arts school, and I had a gospel group, so music has always been in my blood.

True philosophy invents nothing; it merely establishes and describes what is.
