Sometimes it [music in my head] is a curse, but it's also a blessing. It is a gift that I am completely grateful for. That's why I keep [making music], because I don't want to be ungrateful for the gift.

Our [generation] people have the worst diet of anybody. I'm ready to put a farmer on my payroll. We've got to get back to growing our own food. You are what you eat!

Time is a mind construct. It's not real.

As long as I do not take myself too seriously I should not be too badly off.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
