I Am Part Of A Divine Essence.

I Wasn't Big In The Party Scene But I Did Have An Excessive Lifestyle. I Had Much More Than I Needed. I Think That Was A Manifestation Of A Certain Kind Of Mental Illness.

I Come From A Family Of Lawyers. I Was Expected To Be A Professional Of Some Sort, Not An Artist. I Was Never Uplifted For My Art.

Our Own Economy Tells Us To Take As Much As We Can Get, Right? Our Own Economy Says, You're Going To Be The Most Successful Graduate If You Go Into The Business World And Take As Much You Can Get. That's Not How Nature Works. Nature Has A Much Simpler Economy. Everything In Nature Takes What It Needs. That's It. You Don't See An Oak Tree Gathering Up All The Resources. An Oak Tree Takes What It Needs To Be The Authentic Oak Tree It Is.

I Think Laughter Is A Sacred Act.

I Am Operating Under The Philosophy That I Will Simply Use What I Need And The Rest - Even If I Still Have It Somewhere - Is Not Mine. It Is Others'. It Is For The Healing Of The Natural World. And It Is In The Process Of Returning.
