What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I'm about as a person and as a writer.

America's a very traumatized society.

The more I know the less tortured I am.

I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.

And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.

For the ocean is big and my boat is small. Find the courage.
