Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

Accepting all the good and bad about someone. It's a great thing to aspire to. The hard part is actually doing it.

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

Music is a means of spreading the good word and spreading positivity and productivity. Those things speak to me.

I was one of those kids, inner-city youth and finding my way. I made it. I made a success out of myself, surprisingly.

We cannot learn real patience and tolerance from a guru or a friend. They can be practiced only when we come in contact with someone who creates unpleasant experiences. According to Shantideva, enemies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength."
