On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.

Nothing changes, until you change. Everything changes, once you change

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I am a complete mother's boy. I try to do everything with honour, respect and grace because the last thing I would want to do is hurt her.

Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world but he could never show it to his wife and son.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

Anyone must remember that dad left when I was 3 years old. Mom and I lived out of the limelight. We lived a totally different life.

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

As much as I love music, in my mind, photography is what makes me the happiest - that's for sure.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

My larger point is that since each of us struggles daily with good and bad impulses, we might want to restructure our social institutions in order to make it a little easier to be good.

The hunger inside us must be fed to be controlled.

The simple faith in progress is not a conviction belonging to strength but one belonging to acquiescence and hence to weakness.

One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.

Nobody in this world possesses absolute truth.

Hillary Clinton's exposed more of our top secret documents than any Secretary of State in history.

You must realize that what you are cannot be seen in a mirror. What you see in a mirror is but a dim reflection of your true reality.

Spending on oneself does not boost wellbeing. However, spending money on others does -- and it appears to be as important to people's happiness as the total amount of money they make.

You can persuade a man to believe almost anything provided he is clever enough, but it is much more difficult to persuade someone less clever.

The reason life is so strange is that so often people have no choice.
