I long for a kind of quiet where I can just drift and dream. I always say getting inspiration is like fishing. If you're quiet and sitting there and you have the right bait, you're going to catch a fish eventually. Ideas are sort of like that. You never know when they're going to hit you.

I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.

There's always fear of the unknown where there's mystery.

I find the joy of the 'doing' increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.

It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else.

Let's get rid of the suffering and bring real peace, which is not just the absence of war, but the absence of all negativity.

Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.
