I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.

I'm sad, but I'm laughing.

I rejected the God that was portrayed as masculine and judgmental and cruel at times. The concept of us bring not worthy to receive him is something I used to say every Sunday in church, and eventually I just couldn't say it with any conviction.

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

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.
