....Quotes"When you fly into L.A., you're going over those mountains and you see all these beautiful fields and then all of a sudden you see L.A.

"Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself." -Tzol

"If you don't think drugs have done anything good for us, do me a fovor. Go home and take all your CDs, all your records, and BURN THEM. Because you know what? All the musicians who created all that good music that has enhanced your life over the years...rreeal fuckin' high on drugs." -Bill Hicks R.I.P.

"Look down at me and you see a fool; look up at me and you see a god; look straight at me and you see yourself."

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. " - Groucho Marx

"I cannot be sure that ANYTHING, I do will change things for the better, yet I can be sure that if I do not at least TRY, then I will fail to do what I think is right and will be contributing to keeping things the same."
