Even though I don't have any kids of my own, I love this idea of family and taking care of things.

Keeping perspective and being happy and being energetic and being creative - that's all tied to being healthy.

We wouldn't be artists, writers, painters, musicians, if we weren't sensitive.

Try to be happy within the context of the life we are actually living. Happiness is not a situation to be longed for or a convergence of lucky happenstance. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves.

I want to know what you're thinking, you want to know what I'm thinking. But we're alone. In our own minds. We're trapped in this sort of isolation.

I remember when my father was dying, I remember listening to Bjork, and listening to John Coltrane, and these things, and I don't know why but music has the power to transcend your physical being and take you up just a little bit.

Even though I don't have any kids of my own, I love this idea of family and taking care of things.
