Communication is probably the most important aspect of collaboration.

Good thing about collaboration, you really cut down on the amount of stuff you have to do personally.

Your zip code should not predict how long you live.

Where is freedom? Well ladies and gentlemen, freedom is in the mind.

Music is my life and life is my music.

If somebody has an ugly baby...you should tell them it's an f-ing ugly baby. I think that's important, and one of the reasons why people trust me to make music. I will tell them "That's a bad idea"

Fail as quickly as humanly possible and figure out what not to do.

In the effort to minimize chance, I actually have been maximizing my opportunity for serendipity. The fewer possibilities and probabilities there are, the easier they are to predict and manipulate.

It's okay to be mad, but do something about it. That's how you can change things.

Love is amazing. It's everything—until there's a recession.

That love that was so elusive for so long finally found me, and it was so transformative. That was the biggest revolution that happened in my life.

This was how I was surviving. I was screaming through my creative work.

It is something wholly different to say actually how we structure our business, the core DNA of our model, is going to be the thing that makes an impact on the world for the better.

We're all actively engaging in consumerism, and so our hope and vision is how do we hijack that and not say let's get rid of it, because it is an incredibly powerful force that can be for good or for bad.

If you really want to do something, if you really want to help, you should employ people, you should give them something to do. Which, as a 22 year old idealistic journalism student completely turned my world upside down.

If I am in a compassionate relationship with you it doesn't help me to figure out how we are different it only helps me to figure out how to reconcile our differences to find our sameness so I can support you in that sameness and lift you up.

Nothing is worth the wear of winning but laughter and the love of friends.

Don't be afraid of the unknown, embrace the white wall and replace your fear with curiosity.

It's ok to identify with bits and pieces, you don't have to be known for just one thing.

Find out who you are and never let go.

My whole goal is just to speak from the heart.

Speaking- which is the most humbling thing; standing in front of a room full of your peers, if I don't trust what I'm saying then it's going to sound like a bunch of crap to you.

You have to trust yourself before anyone else can trust you.

If you can't find what you are looking for, create it yourself.

Learn from your failures. Everybody fails at one point of another but whether or not you learn from them is what makes the difference.
