distance vibrations facts
Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
scary life-is please
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
thinking opposites people
People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.
communication years everyday
In the present age when communication is so rapid, we should create a different tradition, traditions are created everyday. Five years now is like 100 years before. We are living in a society that has no history. There's no precedent for this kind of society so we can break the old patterns.
real artist way
Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.
war thinking people
People are still thinking of solving problems by violence and war, and that has to stop.
water chocolate secret
My beauty secret is... nothing! I don't drink too much water. I don't eat very well. Sometimes I cheat and grab some chocolate. The best thing is to eat what you want, but not very much.
creativity dancing march
It's better to dance than to march through life.
stars worst-situation bed-of-roses
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
mother moon giving
Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.
blessed men thinking
I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them. It’s the male chauvinistic society that we’re living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. And so I just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. We are very blessed that way, so I’m just bringing that out. Don’t be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.
different emotion sometimes
Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.
thinking choices vietnam
I get very sad when I think about Vietnam where there seems to be no choice but violence. This violence goes on for centuries perpetuating itself.
beauty girl men
Cosmetics is a boon to every woman, but a girl's best beauty aid is still a near-sighted man.
