“I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They’re like you and me.”

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They’re always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you’re doing something right.

I like doing nothing, actually. Doing nothing is better thing when I am not working.

My imagination would run wild in the hills.
