mean successful thinking
As you practice things, you get better. I mean I've worked very hard on changing my life and taking what is good about it and trying to jettison the things I think were not good about it. I think the key word is "discipline," focus. I'm always working at it, but I'm not always successful.
thinking insanity dirt
Psychologically, it's better that I think that I'm dirt.
thinking people work-out
People think that I work out but it's all t'ai chi.
art thinking ego
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
art thinking students
I don't think I'm in any position to call myself a martial artist. I'm a student of the martial arts.
thinking people important
I think it's important that people don't feel alone.
heart thinking ideas
I have no control over the audience. I have no idea what they think. My heart's pure. I can't do anything. I really can't do anything. I don't know what goes on in the crowd.
thinking next albums
I don't really think about what the subject of my next album will be. I just know that I'm going to make another album.
thinking ideas listening
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass. Maybe listening to my music is not the best idea if you live a very constricted life. Or maybe it is.
thinking
I love women, I think they're great.
music dream thinking
How could you even dream or think something of someone who is as uncommercial as I am?
thinking made wells
But it's the things that preceded it that made that happen, and of course now someone like me thinks, well, if I can do that... then there are a lot of other things that are possible.
beautiful thinking creating
But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.
thinking morality compass
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass.
