“Its very important to me to be respected by true talented artists and great minds than by the masses who need to be told how to think. Its more important for me to do things that are spiritually rewarding because that wealth is what makes me feel alive. I do not touch projects that do not yield personal fulfillment, or put me in a field with talent that is over-measured. You wont find me where there is no Truth. And Im not one to jump on any bandwagons or join a gold rush without a purpose. Id rather create my own projects and grow my own fields.”
“In California, I do like to just chill out and go to the beach, but I love the energy here. I feel very productive when I'm in New York.”
“I have a special gift, and I go out and use it. I don't think you can hide it. I'm just confident in myself-always have been.”
“Responsibility is the choice we make to respond with care.”
“If there is one thing I dislike, it is the man who tries to air his grievances when I wish to air mine.”
“A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.”
“Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs.”
“Words are alive--when I've found a story that I love, I read it again and again, like playing a favorite song over and over. Reading isn't passive--I enter the story with the characters, breathe their air, feel their frustrations, scream at them to stop when they're about to do something stupid, cry with them, laugh with them. Reading for me, is spending time with a friend. A book is a friend. You can never have too many.”
