There's nothing tantric about my particular view on life.

When you meditate you discover over and over again that you are not a prisoner of your mind.

Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.

I am already inherently full and complete as I am. Man doesn't need woman and woman doesn't need man in order to experience his or her inherent fullness.

Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever.

That's not how you're going to live, Bird Girl. Not on my account. Spread those strong wings of yours. Fly.

Everything in New Orleans was competitive. People would always be betting on who was the best and the greatest in everything. That's where the battles of music came in.

Not to be miserable is all some people are capable of.

Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
