Accept the gift and honor the giver.

The one thing I would tell everyone - myself included - would be to just chill out. Life, by design, provides us with plenty of drama without us having to augment it and invent more. Just chill.

That same intense, overpowering, and all-encompassing love that you feel for your family can also be utterly terrifying.

Be bold. Be kind. Be brave.

Love is real. In every single moment, there are only two choices: love or fear. I can tell you from experience that love is exponentially more powerful. And a hell of a lot more fun.

Always look for common ground, but don't ever be afraid to choose sides.

Be gentle with the young.

I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
