“I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream.”

But then, being a sort of rebellious, philosophical thinker, I’m always looking for new ways to shake things up.

They have to be desirable, well-designed and work well.

They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.

As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world.

I think it can be a lot more collaborative.

In the new music landscape, with is the democratization of the internet and music in general.

We’re all part of the story; we can all contribute and participate.

Everything I do, it’s all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive.

I’m passionate about it because I think it’s the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable.

We have to act united as a people, and that means that every individual has to participate and do their part.

I see stuff sometimes and have a good laugh.

You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing.

I think winter wear is communal.

I’m a self-taught musician, so I never really had the restrictions of any one instrument.

You can’t expect people to do the right thing or else they will go to hell. We are already in hell!.

The whole idea of hobknobbing and schmoozing and the concept of an “elite” class of celebrities better than the common people has always made my stomach turn.

I hate celebrities. I really hate them.

Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much – then they get used to it.

That become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.
