lying names psychology
I sometimes lie, especially about personal things, because what does it matter? I am a kind of minute commodity. My name is no longer my own. I try to lie as much as I can when I’m interviewed. It’s reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they’ll print the truth.
wish would-be sometimes
Sometimes I wish I wasn't as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.
running peace-and-love rescue
Run to the rescue with love/and peace will follow
nice mean thinking
I don't want to get so lost in thinking about me and talking about me all the time in interviews. It's so nice to unwind and just look at other things and get out of yourself. It's hard to detach myself from myself without neglecting myself. You know what I mean? I don't want to get in to the habit of thinking about my career because when it comes down to it, it's not really that important. I could die tomorrow and the world would go on.
simplicity
In simplicity there is truth.
animal earth duty
Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It's our duty.
selfish cutting animal
We take these animals and completely violate who they are. We use them, abuse them, and deprive them all their lives…then we cut their throats, shred them and eat them! Morally, I’m against it, ethically, I can’t justify it, and ecologically, it’s just insane. The thought of meat-eating makes me shudder. As far as wearing fur is concerned, it is the rudest, most inconsiderate, selfish and sick façade I can imagine.
differences together ive-learned
I’ve learned that if you can’t get it all together to accomplish this thing called peace, you do at least your part in your life, because that’s where you can truly make an immediate difference.
planets cruelty creatures
Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.
phoenix house strange
It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.
stars men planets
We're all worth it, man. We're all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes.
guy normal
I'm just a normal guy doing a job!
quality surroundings chameleon
I have a lot of chameleon qualities, I get very absorbed in my surroundings.
