The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.

Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity.

I never thought, "I'm going to be an artist". When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist", which is true.

Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.

Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.

There are things you can never take, no matter how strong you are.

Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
