People need to be more aware of how they're affecting people.

It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism - because that's mainly what I've been exposed to - was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction. Some real well thought out stuff. But I don't know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.

I was always tearing stuff apart to see how it worked.

I think every person has the ability to affect change...through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people. We are constantly affecting the world.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for advertising purposes.

I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, like you'd feel if you have a cold, so I didn't really think it was anything.

Just keep putting out music. Don't think whether it's a hit or not and people will get you.
