We're all not exactly the same person online that we are in real life. I am not as happy as my Instagram makes me look. We are all heightening the positives and downplaying the negatives.

We miss extra bits of knowledge that can add value to our lives. We sort of lack empathy because we're multitasking all the time.

I'm not a fan of the selfie. I think it's at the heart of the narcissism that social media brings into our lives.

Social media has a way of changing your mood. I can see a picture of my ex, and it ruins my day.

I wouldn't say anyone is 100% honest online. I don't see how it's even possible.

Each person can achieve balance by cutting a few things out and seeing how it goes. If you cut something out, and it goes well, and your life is better, you keep doing it.

Awakening means you’ve come home to yourself, that consciousness shifted back to its original nature.

Whatever is about you that is translated into your art, that's gonna keep you completly original and fresh and I just think that, that's just the best advice I can give, to an artist creatively.

You can't really achieve anything in three years.

I eat meat, the rarer the better.

Men who sit back and pride themselves on their culture haven't any to speak of.

We have not wings we cannot soar; but, we have feet to scale and climb, by slow degrees, by more and more, the cloudy summits of our time.

I had come to feel that my mother's love for me was designed solely to make me into an echo of her; and I didn't know why, but I felt that I would rather be dead than become just an echo of someone.

What nature does in the course of long periods we do every day when we suddenly change the environment in which some species of living plant is situated.

Walt Kelly was much more interested in allegory and politics, and I'm much more interested in metaphors and myth.

I never really said I want to be a role model. But then when it happened I was so down for it.
