I don't believe in a plumb line. I believe in the exchange of ideas.
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.
I've never been a religious person. I've been a spiritual person since I was about 15, 16, when I was first introduced to Psilocybin [mushrooms]. That really opened me up to thinking about the universe in a different way, and coming to significant realizations about my connection to something greater than me.
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me. Have you read the YouTube comments lately? 'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily.
This moon man right here stands for a lot more. This is the most important record out of all of them. Gay rights are human rights, there is no separation.
I think morality is more important than ever before. As we gain more power, the question of what we do with it becomes more and more crucial, and we are very close to really having divine powers of creation and destruction. The future of the entire ecological system and the future of the whole of life is really now in our hands. And what to do with it is an ethical question and also a scientific question.
In writing the autobiography, I can really chuckle when I look at the songs. I was acting out the part. I saw myself as a victim.
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
The way we live our days, is the way we live our lives.
