Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.

The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We're here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.

When you go through a negative situation, don't think about it. Make it positive.

The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.

You can be very wild and still be very wise.

The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.

Being alone is very difficult.

Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.

You change the world by being yourself.

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.

Every drop in the ocean counts.

Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.
