Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child-like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.

I can tell you there are rewards that go far beyond money and public acclaim and awards.

I just can't conceive of how a person could hate another because of skin color. I love every race on the planet earth.

No matter what you do, give it everything you have. Be the best, not the second best.

I love composing and writing music and dancing and performing and conceptualizing creatively for visual mediums. I love to create.

I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper'. The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.
