I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.

Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don’t give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life’s problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.

The greatest things in life - truth, creativity, imagination, love, kindness, compassion -are already inside us, and they're all free.

Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.

Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.

I tend to avoid writing music about initial reactions to situations, like frustration or anger. I’d rather wait till I go through the problem, and write about the learning that took place.

A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy.

No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.

My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.

The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.

To understand what makes you future strong, and what being strong means, is to understand how and why you make choices.

After all, how often do we get a second chance?

I never do anything that doesn't feel natural to me. I wake up in the morning and I know what to put on - it's my sixth sense, really.

To say I love you is to say that you are not mine, but rather your own.

I have seen the future and it's like the present, only longer.

I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.

I call animals "guardians of Being," especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.

Nothing happened today. And if anything did, I’d rather not talk about it, because I didn’t understand it.

I let people off the hook too easily.

You are an alchemist; make gold of that.
