Things aren't always as they appear. I've been believing things to be a certain way because I want them to be that way. I build up illusions in my head.

Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.

I used to want to be fully observational, but I'm just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

If I hear a really good song it's like, oh man, I want to write a song that good. But the urge to create mostly comes from nature, weather and I think it just effects me.

Nothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I'm thankful for that. I haven't lost my head, and I haven't lost my desire to keep growing.

I think most artists would agree, it's one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that's loving it, it's another thing to add cameras, but it's a really cool trade off to be on television.

You can manage your life by only your time

What is your message ? And who will you be telling ?

We can be ethical only in relation to something we can see, feel, understand, love, or otherwise have faith in.

It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and a plan of action.

Some tried to kill him; there were assassination attempts. Some hated him ... this is par for the course.

Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky, Earth's jest a dusty road.

I prefer to be hated than be false and fool people.

We have to slow the rhythm of rush in our lives so that the best of who are can emerge.

He is not dead, this friend; not dead, Gone some few, trifling steps ahead, And nearer to the end; So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead.

Either a princess or a pauper can feel generous. Generosity is the quality of the spirit. When you feel generous your life becomes, abundant full of compassion and love.
