I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.

Meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife

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.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.

And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.
