"There's something pure and infinite in you, that wants to come out of you, and can come out of no other person on this planet. That's what you've got to share, and that's as real and important as the fact that you're alive.
The world at large, careerism, money, magazines, your parents, other kids, nothing is going to give you that message, necessarily. In fact, most things are going to lead you away from it, sadly, because humanity is very confused at the moment. But you wouldn't exist if the universe didn't need you. And any time I encounter something beautiful that came out of a human somewhere, that's them, that's their own soul. That's just pure, whatever it physically is, if the person can play the piano, if they can't play the piano, if they're tone deaf, whatever it is, it hits you like a sledge hammer. It fills up your own soul, it makes you want to cry, it makes you glad to be alive, it lets you come out of you. And that's what we need: We desperately need you."
