Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.
