"You can’t control what others think. The only thing you can control is yourself. Some people will look down on you for your choices in life, no matter what they are. You can’t do anything about that. The only thing you can do is decide how to live your own life. And to hell with everybody else"

"Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure.

"I still have a Gypsy sense of adventure. I don't think I have slept in the same bed for more than three or four months my whole life. I am always planting vegetables that I never get to eat and flowers that I never see flower. I have always moved around the world."

"I trust that when people meet, we meet for a transcendent reason, and that the challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth."

"The trouble with life isn't that there is no answer, it's that there are so many answers."

"Rock 'n' roll is not red carpets and MySpace friends, rock'n'roll is dangerous and should piss people off"

"A flowing flurry of flowers fell to the floor when I fell in love, as if my heart were a garden that gushed forth and flooded her being with the fragrance of romance."

"People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built."
