I love Thich Nhat Hahn. One of my favorite quotes of his (and Iโm paraphrasing), heโs talking about cultivating happiness, and he was saying, at the very least, just be happy youโre not at the dentist right now. He was talking to someone who was having a really hard time finding joy.
MobyMusicians, actors, writers - we're all neurotic, odd people who've lucked into accidental careers. So I just don't like being around public figures with that sense of entitlement, it just seems unhealthy, and it strips so much potential for them to develop as a human being.

So I remind myself of that.
