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 we think of digitally disconnecting and inviting presence into our lives, we are creating the conditions of integration within and between.

I do feel blessed to be in the public eye so I can share what I believe. But I think it would be extremely disappointing if I were to count on it to provide happiness. I've come to realize that any time I do that, the fulfillment is short-lived at best.

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

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

Typically I go in the studio and whatever I'm contemplating that day will wind up being a song. I don't come in with lyrics... I just go in and let it happen.

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