Why can't we all just get along?

As far as having peace within myself, the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.

I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.

I saw my hometown burning that day.

I don't see how you can grow as a world without being able to get along with people. So many people is hating out there and it's not making a difference.

Waking up sober is a good day. I love being able to wake up and do positive things, to go to the gym.

Anybody can get bigheaded once they know the seat cannot be pulled out from under them.

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.

I think it's fair to say that I don't pick up languages. If anything, I roll around in them gracelessly and pray that something sticks.

Then the Miller fell off his horse.

It would always be my burden, not that I lacked genius, but that I was fully aware of it.

I guess professionally I've left my gender open to artistic interpretation.

I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.

I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.

Life consists in penetrating the unknown, and fashioning our actions in accord with the new knowledge thus acquired.
