“If we keep in touch with god and our spiritual guides, just knowing that they exist and they are there for us, gives us the strength to say well this is a bad phase but it’s going to end and when it ends I’m going to do something good.”

Inspiration is not inside of us. Inspiration comes from outside. It comes from our spiritual guides and from different energies that are in the universe.

That’s the energy that keeps everything together – the planets, the galaxies. Everything.

Of course, you have to have a good reputation, especially as an artist, as a musician, so that other musicians would like to play with you.

Every time you play you have energy within you – universal energy.

I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.

I know where I wanna end up. I’m ready to go, and I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to build, and I’m ready to establish my longevity.

For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.

The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.

What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.

So basically I did this whole show carrying 100lbs, looking out of one eye, dancing – and then my tits explode at the end. It’s not as easy as it looks!

So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.
