To lie to yourself, and thereby to everyone else.

I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.

I love songs that are very autobiographical.

When we [people] are operating from the belief that we're not connected, it feels so dangerous and scary and vulnerable and awful.

Stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up, this is utopia.

I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.

I notice that when I feel the most disconnected, once I'm done blaming the moon and everything else, I can see that I am so mired in identification with form and ego and story and identity, and that if I want to, I can read some scripture or read some spiritual book or pray or meditate or sit in the sun or hang around the birds and the dogs, and get a real objective sense of what's really going on here. That usually softens things.
