Lies were like having a pregnant rabbit. One day you had one, but before you knew it, there were rabbits all over the place.

You walk around with a negative attitude and you're just naturally going to bring trouble and hard times down on yourself.

There is no plan, no future laid out for any of us beyond what we make for ourselves.

I'm not as trusting as people think I am. Sure, I see the best in people, but that doesn't mean it's really there.

I've always been interested in the outsider.

Most times we only see things for the way we are. But we're good at lying to ourselves. Sometimes we need somebody who's not living in our skin to point out how things really are.

Life's an act of magic, too. Claire Hamill sings a line in one of her songs that really sums it up for me: 'If there's no magic, there's no meaning.' Without magic- or call it wonder, mystery, natural wisdom- nothing has any depth. It's all just surface. You know: what you see is what you get. I honestly believe there's more to everything than that, whether it's a Monet hanging in a gallery or some old vagrant sleeping in an alley.
