I was very active. I was always all over the place trying to do a million things, just into this activity. If you asked me when I was 14 what I wanted to be: "Activist, first, is my occupation. I am an activist."

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

I rarely listen to the music for the sheer pleasure. I'm listening for the tool, I'm listening for the instrument, I'm listening for the art.

When you're young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I've graduated from that school.

Every time truth comes we hate it, because it's coming against our ego. Are you going to let the ego come between you and this person you love?

Wisdom is better than silver and gold

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.
