In a perfect world, I would be 6-foot-3 and have a perfect head of hair and look like Orlando Bloom.

I would drink and drink and then at 3 o'clock in the morning take anything that was put in front of me. And I'd sometimes be disappointed when conventional things were put in front of me. Like, I'd do a line of something and be disappointed to find it was just cocaine.

Musically, New York is a big influence on me. Walk down the street for five minutes and you'll hear homeless punk rockers, people playing Caribbean music and reggae, sacred Islamic music and Latino music, so many different types of music.

There's no wrong way to meditate. And meditation should never be a difficult practice that leads to self criticism.

I believe that the role of limited government should be looking after the needs of veterans, the elderly, children and those institutions that improve the quality of life for struggling families - I don't believe that government should bend to serve the needs of subsidized multi-national corporations and entitled billionaires.

I like being vegan, I think it's good for my health.

I feel like sometimes we have to be a little less inclusive and tolerant if other people's opinions could lead to the destruction of our species.
