I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well. I would say that, as much as you can instill your open-minded naivety, if you're basically open minded, then you can do damn near anything.

I'm an artist, therefore I think I am sensitive to human pain.

Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.

All life is a boomerang. We receive what we give.

Remember what people used to say about meditation? Now everyone is doing it.

I think in the end we all know that our best friend is ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. That's the journey.

I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
