Take care what words you speak that follow “I am.” In so speaking you create your life.

Enlightenment does not ask you to be perfect; it simply asks you to find perfection right where you stand.

When you invest your time and energy in stuff that drags you down, you die a little bit every day.

You are not a black hole that needs to be filled; you are a light that needs to be shined.

I love the balls-to-the-walls rule-breaking approach the Beatles had in the studio (which I emulate), although I don't try to make my songs "sound" like their songs. But every time I crank a knob of some piece of equipment, or plug an instrument into the "wrong" amp/effect, I am channeling the Beatles.

Inner peace: Don't leave home without it.

Don't use the past as an excuse to miss out on your future.
