Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.

I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

Music enables me to cleanse and shed the things that I feel are holding me back from growing, or growing up.

I live with myself. I wake up with myself, I eat, and I take a dump with myself. I don't see anything special there. I do all the same things other human beings and creatures do. I don't see any need to be telling the data of the day of this particular human being by posting it on online. It's not interesting to me.

I opened up every can of worms I could. I got to the place where I would peel back one layer, and then another layer, and the stuff that would come up underneath was so inspiring, it made me want to write about it.

I've learned very, very, very clearly that money does not equal happiness or security, either.
