It's important to me that I don't take myself too seriously and I have fun with every experience in life. That is the whole point.

I am really fascinated by human beings, fascinated! One thing I loved about living in New York was that I could sit on my stoop and just watch life happen. It was better than any kind of reality television - way more entertaining and enlightening.

I'm one of those people who sees Frank Zappa in a cup of coffee, or elephants wrestling in clouds. But also, conscious creation of all kinds moves me.

There is no such thing as failure; everything is just a stepping stone to a greater lesson or achievement.

I'm not afraid to fall on my face while I attempt new things.

My so-called failures have been some of my greatest learning tools. I just make sure to fail up.

I'm fed most by nature; going to the beach or lying in the grass are the greatest kinds of medicine. Cooking for other people. Kicking it with friends and family. And I love dancing - by myself in my house, with friends anywhere, or in a class.
