I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.

God doesn't seem to talk to people like he used to. Who's he talking to now? I don't know. Then I'm walking down the street in Manhattan one day, and I realize maybe it's those guys you see walking down the street talking to themselves. You know, those guys that are like, 'I can't! No, I can't!' Maybe the other side of that conversation is God going, 'You're the new leader.' 'No I can't!' They're not crazy - they're reluctant prophets.

It's not all about love. That's half of it... The other half is about that moment you have with yourself when you're looking in the mirror, and you just go, 'Oh man. I'm going to compromise my dreams, get fat, sick, old and die someday. I kind of want to have someone around for that.'

In most cases the only difference between depression and disappointment is your level of commitment.

When you actually meet the devil and he offers you a deal most artists eventually negotiate.

The Internet has usurped the collective unconscious and access to cosmic consciousness has become difficult and almost primitive.

As I became very conscious and more aware of things I got very into the beatniks and that kind of stuff. They were very important to me for a few years.
