Maybe there are only three kinds of stories: those we live, those we tell, and those that help our souls fly upwards to a greater life.

To anyone who is homeless, I say, find a home.

The earliest storytellers were magi, seers, bards, griots, shamans. They were, it would seem, old as time, and as terrifying to gaze upon as the mysteries with which they wrestled .. (they) helped the community live though one more darkness, with eyes wide open, and with hearts set alight.

To see the madness and yet walk a perfect silver line. ... That's what the true story-teller should be: a great guide, a clear mind, who can walk a silver line in hell or madness.

I am not fighting for success, just to get more beauty out of myself and share it with more people.

a dream can be the highest point of a life

The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing.
