Relationships of any kind are powerful, and they always influence an artist. It's inescapable.

Our art is an adventure. It is a dream come true.

Great work comes from great joy. Leave the angst for the movies; do art - that is fun.

Worry means tormenting yourself with disturbing thoughts or fretting about things we have zero control over. If you live in the north there is no need to worry about the snow. You will get plenty each year. If you live in California or Texas you needn't worry about rain because we won't receive any.

It's harder to put yourself in a place where you could easily be seen as a fake. But that's more interesting to me.

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

I think you can't really escape any kind of spiritual education as a child, whether it's New Age or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever it is. You can't escape it, even if you completely disagree with it, you still have it as a foundation that you base things off of.
