I was starting to come to grips with the fact that I had created a lot of pain and suffering around me, not just within me.
It was because all we wanted was each other's constant love and attention and for no one else to receive that love and attention, which is a selfish and difficult place to be in a relationship. We were emotionally retarded, and that was the best we c...
Give her the continent and she wanted the hemisphere.
We took off our clothes, and we were basically in a sphere of love and light and warmth, and the rest of the world disappeared. It was better than I ever could have dreamed, it was that thing I had been looking for, that love mixed with the rapture o...
That's a spiritual lifestyle, being willing to admit that you don't know everything and that you were wrong about some things. It's about making a list of all the people you've harmed, either emotionally or physically or financially, and going back a...
I had seen these transformations, people who had lost their will to live, coming back from their zombie states and radiating a new life force from their eyes.
When you start putting pen to paper, you see a side of your personal truth that doesn't otherwise reveal itself in conversation or thought.
My work was done, so it was time to start digging my grave again.
It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.
I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.
Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.
I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.
As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.
I know my dad is a big Internet freak, and he's been known to be a Wikileaker.
Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator.
What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.
I discovered surfing, which I absolutely fell in love with. That feels good and kind of keeps your body aligned, so does the salt water.
The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.
I think people that have fear that, 'Oh if I have a kid I won't be able to do this and I won't be able to do that.' It's kind of the opposite. It really gives you energy. It makes people better.
Four years into the life of my son, I realize I'm so in love with him and he's so in love with me that if I don't find that lifelong partner out there, it's okay.
You know I love pot, and I love beer, but I am totally sober, just because it completely stopped working for me.
