If I don't stay creative and if I don't stay in the studio and keep writing and recording, I get kind of depressed. I can't quite remember what I'm supposed to be doing with myself.

My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.

The more we stretch the muscle called compassion and generosity, the stronger we get, the better we feel about ourselves, the more loving we become to the world around us.

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

It's hard enough doing something bold without jumping into your bad reviews.

Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.

One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.

If I am going out into the unknown, it might as well be the really unknown.

People--stupid when they lived

In a new interview, Secretary of State Colin Powell repeated that the U.S. has no plans to attack Syria or Iran. After hearing this Donald Rumsfeld responded, 'Like he'd know.'

For she doth make my veins and pulses tremble.

It's all about the confidence.

People hurried past, the others of the street, endless anonymous, twenty-one lives per second, race-walking in their faces and pigments, sprays of fleetest being.

I feel it's part of my job to make the problems of the poor compelling.

I have never regarded myself as this or that. I have been too busy being myself to bother about regarding myself.

When I was playing with Bob Dylan in, like, 1966, I was, like, 20 years old.
