It's very powerful to shut down your computer and escape into the real world.

The only real moment is now.

Pay attention to your breathing.

I love Oasis.

My number-one hero in terms of interdisciplinary art is Laurie Anderson, but I've always admired anyone who can think way beyond any one medium.

Anne Imhof is a powerful artist from Germany making work that is totally interdisciplinary.

Basho is the great poet of Japan, writing in the second half of the 17th century, but his work is still incredibly fresh.

I'm just trying to make rent and do my work.

When anyone dies, it's sad.

I love almost every Britpop band.

I collect head shots from bands.

I'm deeply conservative and I'm profoundly boring.

I'm getting older and I'm just coming to terms that I'm stuck with me so I better try to like myself.

As I get older, there's this new realisation and it's almost like a relief, and that is that I can never be who I once was, but only who I want to become.

I aspire to feel like a child, how about that!

I know that there are energies that vibrate frequencies that are so subtle you could say that they exist in a different territory or realm or sphere, and people mistake these frequencies for ghosts.

As an adolescent I saw the Specials at the Glass House in Pomona, and that was life changing. I dressed the part - except not well, because it was a thrift suit. I looked more like David Byrne than a rudeboy; I still have a hard time finding suits that fit me. But I had my braces and I had my Docs. It was unbelievable.

I grew up around so much new agey stuff. Part of me takes it lightly because I'm so used to it. It was my parents. It wasn't some path I discovered and want to share with people. It's just been a very natural part of my life. There's humor to it and there's seriousness to it, too.

I sometimes think a movement as rich and wild and incredible as Tropicalismo wouldn't have survived without incredibly catchy music.

I'm interested in Qawwali and the blues.

Good art doesn't really have an expiration date on it.

I've got a long list of things I consider to be selling out. But amongst that list, one of them is when you make art without putting your guard down.

I meditate.' That's like saying 'I eat.' Think of all the food there is! And there are almost as many varieties of mediation.

I like California a lot. There's a lot of space, but it's actually the most populated place in the nation.
