True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within.

I don't think it was pain that made [Vincent Van Gogh] great - I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

As a teenager, I was really trying to have fun 24 hours a day. I didn't start thinking until I was 20 or 21. I was doing regular goof-ball stuff.

The interesting thing that happens for many people when they first start meditating is that they'll be doing it for a few months, and they will begin to change, but the experience is so subtle that they're not even aware of it.

When you sleep, you don`t control your dream. I like to dive into a dream world that I've made, a world I chose and that I have complete control over.

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.

I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.
