You could spend every waking moment online and still only experience one-trillionth of what's out there. I find that a little overwhelming.

I love nyc. It's the city of my birth and probably the most amazing city on the planet.

I love Thich Nhat Hahn. One of my favorite quotes of his (and I’m paraphrasing), he’s talking about cultivating happiness, and he was saying, at the very least, just be happy you’re not at the dentist right now. He was talking to someone who was having a really hard time finding joy.

Here was long period on my life when I was very disappointed by the fact I wasn't gay. Because I grew up going to gay clubs, living in New York and LA, both very gay cities.

The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.

The idea of feeling old is much more the worry of a slightly younger person. When you are getting old, that becomes - psssh - completely secondary to the absolute understanding of how short your life is.

I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.
