Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what's going on next week, next month.

I'm an optimist, so I believe in some sort of life after death; I don't know what kind.

I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

It's a rare moment when we take a break from the tribulations of the daily rat race to reflect on assumptions and values that we casually accept as gospel.

Deep down, there is in the substance of the cosmos a primordial disposition, sui generis, for self-arrangement and self-involution.
