I just want my kid to not hate and to be a good human. That's what you try to do. You hope that they are the next evolution of your thing.

I know that human beings are better together than they are apart, as much as I fought that all my life.

The thing that makes me feel most alive would be when I'm hanging out with my family and feeling my connection with them and feeling safe and content in that.

I think I feel vulnerable most of the time. I feel on guard. I've gotten pretty good at putting my fists down and kind of allowing the world to be, so that I don't feel threatened as much.

Staying present and staying myself in the midst of others is important.

It's like a spiritual elevation that occurs when you're playing and becoming one with the instrument or players on the stage.

I feel vulnerable a lot interacting with human beings and being honest with people, and if I read their energy kind of not getting or shutting me down or this feeling of where we're not connecting, that's kind of a vulnerable place for me.
