I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening.

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.

You know, I think I am faintly spiritual.

The other thing is surrounding yourself with people that care for you. These are simple things, but they're powerful, and they've completely transformed who I am and how I perceive myself.

I look at my clarinet sometimes and I think, I wonder what's going to come out of there tonight? You never know.
