I try to keep a positive intention, and use whatever resources I have to benefit others. I try to create businesses that I think are not hurtful. I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.

I don't miss my prayers and I don't miss my yoga. Those things are important to me.

I'm always surrounded by smart talented people. I had talented partners. Stan Latham for one. Talent scouts.

It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap. If you want to be a lawyer, see yourself as a lawyer, go to the library and start learning the law. If you want to be a rapper, start rapping and get out there. Live your life as if you already are where you want to be.

People will always blame the poets for society's ills. But these are the true artists.

As long as you are passionate about your vision, you should keep moving forward.

I think it's very important. I've gone into prisons to meditate with inmates. It's something I plan to do with Tim Robbins soon.
