I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.

I think judgment is from within. It's not a God judging. Someone who is nasty - they're the one who has to sleep at night.

Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live.

I am a musician. I didn't know I would be so when I was young. I do know that I have always heard music in my head that I wasn't hearing somewhere else and I 'needed' this music. And obedient to the laws of nature, I created into this vacuum.

I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.
