I just love to sing, so like my dad's advice when I was younger - anytime you get a chance to sing, just go out there and do it! I truly just love the actual singing.

I have wanted to sing for as long as I can remember. Literally, since maybe the second grade. I don't think there was one turning point where I said, "This is it".

The best songs that I write usually come in, like, two minutes, and I think a lot of songwriters would probably say those kind of songs that come just like that are the good ones.

The songs that you work and work and work on sometimes are just forced and not as good.

It's not bad to stand in front of 20,000 people and sing. It's nerve-racking, a huge adrenaline rush, but it's also very exciting, and not many people get to experience that. It's pretty special.

The kashays (inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) that keep one entrenched in the coolness of the worldly life are the very thing that makes one wander life after life.

Passion without purpose is like a shot without a target.

The little Plumpuppets are fairies of beds; They have nothing to do but watch sleepyheads; They turn down the sheets and they tuck you in tight, And dance on your pillow to wish you good night!

You feel the call. That's the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open.

Solving problems is a practical art, like swimming, or skiing, or playing the piano: you can learn it only by imitation and practice.

America's biggest failure is its inability to take comedy seriously.

So that's what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialites of the energies in your own system.

You can communicate to a new cybercity... This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie The Matrix? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into The Matrix!

I don't think age is an ugly process. I think age is a beautiful thing. I love wrinkles. I don't like falling down. If I just wrinkle, I may not touch. If I fall down, I'll lift up.

Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
