Over time I just realised the world is a very complicated place, and there is not a single structured belief system that adequately and comprehensively describes every aspect of our existence. So that is my new approach to life and spirituality - I don't know anything, except on a very naive and subjective level.

I thought that my life would be spent working in a bookstore, teaching community college, and making music in my spare time that no one would be willing to listen to.

I'm sure most people have this experience: when you're young you drink, you do drugs, you stay up late, and there are no consequences.

If someone is cynical and doesn't vote and ends up with a crummy job in a crummy country with a decimated environment, they only have themselves to blame.

I've been having a midlife crisis since I was four years old.

If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.

Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.
