attitude way done
If I feel like I've done the best that I can or conducted myself in the most constructive way that I can in a situation, then I feel peace.
records way strange
That's the strange thing about making a record. You can be in one mood for an hour, put it on a record, and you're remembered that way.
people
I think most people know it's a goof.
calls energy friend
My friend calls him 'the director, I need more energy in my section!
bit bookstore clubs esoteric spent time wander
Just as we were finishing 'Paul's Boutique' we got our own places, and I was going out to clubs a lot less. I got a bit more introverted and spent a lot more time on my own reading. I would just go down to the esoteric bookstore and wander around.
fooling harm saw stuff
I didn't realize how much harm I was doing back then and I think a lot of rap artists probably don't realize it now. I said a lot of stuff fooling around back then, and I saw it do a lot of harm.
guys mine punk rap
I kind of remember a friend of mine saying, like, you guys should make a rap record. You know, because we were already making punk records. We were a punk band. And I kind of thought, that's crazy.
strong editing suits
I feel that working with the camera and editing it is actually my strong suit.
basketball baseball football
I love the flow of the game. There's a certain fluidity to basketball. I don't enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.
thinking feelings littles
I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, like you'd feel if you have a cold, so I didn't really think it was anything.
people needs
People need to be more aware of how they're affecting people.
real teaching buddhism
It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism - because that's mainly what I've been exposed to - was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction. Some real well thought out stuff. But I don't know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.
motivation heart color
When I hear Obama speak he just seems really sincere and he just seems like somebody who actually has his heart and his motivation in the right place. Forget about color or race or gender or whatever, he's got his heart in the right place.
happiness wealth easy
It's pretty easy to see that... wealth doesn't really equal happiness.
