Everybody is different and I think that we live in a material world. But for me, possessing things is not that interesting. Living in a grand environment to show myself and others that I have wealth has zero appeal. Whatever I own is temporary, since we're only here for a short period of time. It's what we do and produce, it's our actions, that will last forever. That's real value.

At the end, the key thing is you've got to live with yourself. That's the real test. Everything else is fleeting.

Luckily the whole world is not like me, or else, there would be no world.

I felt I was owned by possessions.

I don't have a house, and I don't have a lot of time for socializing, so every year I have a party for all of my friends.

L.A. is very special to me, so far away from my world on the East Coast, Europe, Asia. It's a bit of an island for me - less intense, less busy; because of time difference and location, it has a calming effect. At least it used to be all that.

Everything I do now is about growing the pot to have more to give away.
