Never give up. There is always hope, there is always life. You've just gotta open your heart to it. Live in love.

Your uniqueness is your strength. Remember that. Don't mold yourself to others or to what others think. You're an individual. You're special.

You have many options in life, never make giving up one of them

Wake up and create a purpose for yourself. Don't ask the meaning of life, ask yourself the meaning of each given day.

Never understood a lot about the world... music is one of the only things that makes any sense.

Be your own person because no one can take that away from you.

To me, music is emotion and if when you're listening to it and it doesn't make you feel that, then it's not music.

Happiness isn't a destination; its a journey.

People can say what they want but it doesn't stop me from doing what I'm crazy about doing.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO! Whatever that is, put your entire heart & soul into it, or don't do it at all.

If you have enough strength to help yourself, you have enough strength to help those in need. Never pass up an opportunity.

Goodness is nothing in the furnace of art.

Hell didn't make me a monster. It just confirmed all my worst fears about myself.

Our ultimate goal is to be fully present for life. It takes practice

To be loved at first sight, a man should have at the same time something to respect and something to pity in his face.

An important mark of a good leader [is] to know you don’t know it all and never will.

I'm interested in making works for museums in a way that make the space feel domestic, and I'm always thinking about how this work will be part of someone's daily life.

Sweetness! World needs sweetness! It needs a sweet child, a sweet dolphin, a sweet monkey; it needs sweet people to soften the callous hearts!

What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you're gone, you're history.

I try to look at what KG does, what Tim Duncan does, what Amare Stoudamire does ... I compare and evaluate myself with them.

Somehow I had turned myself into the worst thing in the world: I was just another man who wanted to teach me something!
