There are certain mystical belief systems that believe that taking pictures takes an aspect of the soul, but beyond that it's just the idea that once you're captured in a photograph, then a million presumptions are made of you, and you are forever frozen in that one moment, and you are perceived to be the embodiment of that moment, and that, of course, is an illusion.

I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.

Better to live one year as a tiger, then a hundred as sheep.

You're so consumed with how much you get, you waste your time with hate and regret.

You have to reinvent to stay fresh, to stay in the game

The beast is the modern world that we live in! The material world. The physical world. The world of illusion that we think is real. We live for it; we're enslaved by it. And it will ultimately be our undoing.

Until I learned to love myself, I was never ever lovin' nobody else.
