• As an artist, there's a sweet, jump-starting quality to [marijuana] for me. I've often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I'm not high. When I'm high - well, they come in and there's less of a veil, so to speak. So if ever I need some clarity, or a quantum leap in my own consciousness, or a quantum leap in terms of writing something or getting an answer, it's a quick way for me to get it.

We can become extremely wise and sensitive to all of humanity and the whole universe simply by knowing ourselves, just as we are.

• Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.
