What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment.

I didn't go around the world, I went around the world on a private jet. I didn't have a hotel room, we had an entire floor. We were spoiled.

During my sabbatical, I spent two years not listening to my songs at all.

Love, acceptance, friends, two kids that I love. I have to take care of myself for them. I've also been a vegetarian for two years.

Everyday begins like a blank chalkboard, on which each one of us can write the poem of our present and our dreams for the future.

Life is like a great teacher..... she will repeat the lesson until you learn.

Getting caught masturbating sucks. I got caught masturbating in jail 7 or 8 times, it really sucks.

And when you feel the heat, the world is at your feet.

Children aren't just our future. They're our present.

Buddhism has a very beautiful teaching that says the worst thing you can do to your soul is to tell someone their faith is wrong.

I need to tell the world what I'm about, my nature, because not doing so would be teaching my children how to lie. I didn't want it to be.

To fall in love is easy, but forgetting is required to be crazy.

Survival often demands our courage.

I never rejected any responsibility, but that depends on the decision.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

Ridicule dishonours more than dishonour.

If you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

If you want to be true to life, start lying about it

I could see myself in a relationship with a girl - Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing.

I've been to a lot of places and done a lot of things, but writing was always first. It's a kind of pain I can't do without.
