Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.

Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.

Being 'contented' ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

I can't live just being content. I can't have a routine. I can't be settled because then I just get really frustrated.

Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends.

You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.
