“Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.”

Love is unknown. To open the heart in trust is unknown. They say love hurts. It doesn’t have to.

You know that if you lie to yourself, surely other people lie to themselves. And if they lie to themselves, they will lie to you also.

We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth that’s always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory.

Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.

I don’t know what I am. And it’s not important.

We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I am here and I’m alive. That’s enough.

In our development, as we grow throughout our lives, the structure of our beliefs becomes very complicated, and we make it even more complicated because we make the assumption that what we believe is the absolute truth.

Whatever you perceive, you always make a story with yourself as the main character, and that dictates your life. Then when you read ‘The Four Agreements’, you hear another voice beneath the story, the voice that comes from your integrity, your spirit.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Humans believe so many lies because we aren’t aware. We ignore the truth or we just don’t see the truth. When we are educated, we accumulate a lot of knowledge, and all that knowledge is just like a wall of fog that doesn’t allow us to perceive the truth, what really is.

I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there’s a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.

All artists are crazy.

Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It’s a way to communicate oneself.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

Everyone liked me when I went up on the stage at a talent search in elementary school, and that’s when I decided to become a music artist.

It’s very hard to be an artist, on my first album, and I’m like asking for money for a music video for every song – it’s so hard to do. You have to pick your battles for sure, but I definitely want – and I’ve always worked to make it all connect – for all of it to feel cohesive.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.

Poets, not otherwise than philosophers, painters, sculptors, and musicians, are, in one sense, the creators, and, in another, the creations, of their age.
