I'm happy about the fact that my audience is very open to new music. They're dying for new music. So all I got to do is get up there and show them what I'm doing, and they go oh yeah, I like that.

My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.

The more we stretch the muscle called compassion and generosity, the stronger we get, the better we feel about ourselves, the more loving we become to the world around us.

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

It's hard enough doing something bold without jumping into your bad reviews.

Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

For once in your life, here's your miracle, stand up and fight.

I know that Julia has been given to me for my spiritual growth, and this moment is perfect for us both. I know that I love her, and I know she's my soul mate.

A big sacrifice is coming, and you won't have the courage to make it. That will cost you dearly. It will cost the world dearly.

Every decision you ever make has its own consequences. Freedom is not the issue. You have freedom to do what you want, you just cannot do it and not pay the price for it.

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

It might feel like the end of the world--but it's the beginning of your art.

No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.

Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder; as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.

Acts of the devil revealed and reveled, designed to recline the mind to lower level.

Being human is a precious situation, and we shouldn't waste time in useless activities.

Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.

There is never much trouble in any family where the children hope someday to resemble their parents.
