I'd been rejected, but I was still in love, so I decided to start over.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.

Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.
