Friendship is not linear. It moves in all directions, teaching us about ourselves and about each other.

I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.

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.

When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.

I have never seen myself as leading for others. What's important is that I know who I am. Not completely. But I'm coming around third base.

Why do people have to love people anyway?

Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.
