I didn't really grow up listening to blues, because I grew up in the Northwest. It wasn't really the center for blues.

I always loved smokestack industry, and I love towns or cities that have grown up around factories.

The thing about meditation is: you become more and more you.

New mysteries. New day. Fresh doughnuts.

Everyone's got consciousness.. . Grow that ball of consciousness and all avenues of life improve. Your work just blossoms.

I was creative before I started meditating, but I had, looking back, a weakness. I wasn't self-assured. I had a little bit of melancholy. I had a lot of anger for my situations in life, and I would take this out on my first wife.

Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me.
