We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

I don't mind looking to the camera -​ it's people that throw me.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

And, because my role in society - or any artist or poet's role - is to try to express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel, not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. And it's like that's the job of the artist in society, not to...they're not some alienated being living on the outskirts of town. It's fine to live on the outskirts of town, but artists must reflect what we all are. … If that's taken it too much on meself, I feel that artists are that - they're reflections of society... Mirrors.

Happiness is a good vibe for peace.
