Mine is always your Highest Thought, your Clearest Word, your Grandest Feeling. Anything less is from another source.

Express your life as a demonstration of your highest beliefs, rather than as a denial of them.

Truth and God are found in the same place: in the silence.

For it is the nature of people to love, then destroy, then love again that which they value most.

I tell you this: Compassion never ends, love never stops, patience never runs out in God’s World. Only in the world of man is goodness limited. In My World, goodness is endless.

Indeed, the Master knows intuitively that passion is the path. It is the way to Self realization. Even in earthly terms it can be fairly said that if you have a passion for nothing, you have no life at all.

Never do anything in relationship out of a sense of obligation. Do whatever you do out of a sense of the glorious opportunity your relationship affords you to decide, and to be, Who You Really Are.

Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.

In this way, feelings can be tricky. Feelings are the language of the soul, but you must make sure you are listening to your true feelings and not some counterfeit model constructed in your mind.

Say your truth—kindly, but fully and completely. Live your truth, gently, but totally and consistently. Change your truth easily and quickly when your experience brings you new clarity.

Remember this: It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent.

The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.

Hemp happens to be one of the most useful, strongest, toughest, longest-lasting materials on your planet.

You don’t know how to love without condition.

Yet I have said over and over again that there is no “right” or “wrong” in the universe. A thing is not intrinsically right or wrong. A thing simply is.

Past Data should not be the basis of Present Truth. Data from a prior time or experience should always and only be the basis for new questions. Always the treasure should be in the question, not in the answer.

I do not love hot more than I love cold, high more than low, left more than right. It is all relative. It is all part of what is.

There are no coincidences in the universe.

I definitely believe that we really need to stop putting things in masculine and feminine boxes and realize that men and women both contain masculine and feminine energy.

I'm aware of - and embrace - my masculine energy. Sometimes I have too much yang.

I can't understand marketing. I think it's because I never looked at what I do as a job. I've rebelled against that and I will continue to.

I have a photograph of my grandfather driving a donkey cart barefoot.

Any time you turn off and let someone else make any artistic decision for you, you make a mistake.

I remember attaching a wire clothing hanger to the antenna of my radio in my bedroom, so I could get the frequency and get that station and listen to the top 10 every night.

Because of my Portuguese heritage, I have an interest in all of the instrumentation that comes from Portugal and Brazil as well.

I'm into cotton underwear. I don”t need cheetah print leather to make me feel sexy.

Girls like to see girls dressed up like princesses occasionally. Guys don”t really care, they just want to get the clothes off.

Maneater -- make you work hard, make you spend hard, make you want all of her love.

I'm privileged that I'm an artist.

If we stepped away from so much of the victimhood talk, I think that would make a big change for the better. It does limit art. The conversation wouldn't just be one-sided.

I'm channelling my 14-year-old self. She's thinking about putting on her big hoop earrings and baggy pants and going to the mall downtown.

I just think motherhood made me better, I think it rejuvenates you as a person, mind, body and spirit, and I think every woman is different.

I say it's a girls' world.

I write pop songs. But I think it is sprinkled with a lot of counter-culture references. It ranged from rap to hip hop to trip hop, house, drum and bass, and experimental and improv and jazz.

Touring is a favorite part of what I do. I love connecting with the fans in that immediate way.

I finally feel content with my work. My fruit has started to ripen. I'm able to dissect emotion properly and distill it into a song that reverberates in a truthful place.

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away...

There are tears. There's laughter. There's an unconscious thing happening between us as humans. There's so much about the brain that we don't understand. I believe everybody's empathic.

As an artist, comfort can be your worst enemy.

When you're too concerned about branding, you're restricting yourself.

I don't really believe in good and evil. I never had. I think it's enabled me to open my mind.

If you're spreading light, you don't care where the sunshine goes.

I think when you mature, you realize that you really don't have to do anything you don't want to do or be represented in a way that doesn't suit you.

I am impressed when music matters, when genres are broken, when spirits are lifted, when people make a difference, and when people are true to themselves.

Our connection to nature grounds us, it makes us more spiritually aware. We must keep the legacy of nature materially alive for future generations.

Music is one of the only inanimate things we have left. It can still be mystical, magical and awe-inspiring

You can have the best of intentions and think you're doing the right thing but you fall down when you're going against your own instinct.

We may look great on Instagram, but we're still lonely and depressed and anxiety-ridden. I hope, for the sake of our future generations, that our moral compass stays intact.

In our world, it's a big deal when you have a favourite collaborator and share them.

Art and life go together. I have to have a life filled with experiences to make art, and I have to have art around me to live well.
