I want my whole life to be a great work of art, not just my art. And that means paying attention to my entire life and trying to make sure my whole life is balanced.

I like pressure. If I am not on the edge of failure, I'm not being sufficiently challenged.

Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.

Music has given me a career. But even if it doesn't become yours it teaches you confidence and allows you to express your creativity.

I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.

I am most alive when I let myself be touched by the fingers of life.

All things change. Cultivate flexibility rather than perfection.
