“Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.”

Look up here, I’m in heaven.

It’s a compulsive need to wreck everything. You might notice there’s a pattern of stripping down and building back up again throughout my life. But I guess that’s how some of us conduct our lives.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I’m home.

I think the only music I didn’t listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.

You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.

She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.

It would be positively boring if minds were in tune.

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I’m an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.

The moment you know you know you know.

I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I’m living on.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

I was always accused of being cold and unfeeling. It was because I was intimidated about touching people.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

I feel like, even if something goes wrong, I have confidence in myself and my team that we’ll fix it.

Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

I definitely like to go out and dance. I’m a big vibe person when it comes to music so a song really has to make me feel a certain way in order for me to fall in love with it.

I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music.

I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting, as it were, into the system of being, in identifying myself with the whole of nature.

Super Moon had me feeling some type of way.

Even as we recognize our resentment, bitterness, or jealousy, we can also honor our own wish to be happy, to feel free.

For me, success isn’t a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something; it’s being happy with who you are.
