Isn’t it amazing that there are laws of the universe that you can actually find out about, live your life according to and change the world for the better?
Its boring not to take risks.
Fame is a form of misunderstanding.
I’d like to think I am taking people on a journey; I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.
I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

People don’t know what Kabbalah is, and so they jump to conclusions. For me, studying Kabbalah is studying – is just – is asking questions. And I encourage all of my children to be that way, and I think people don’t understand that. And so they make assumptions and they judge.
