Do you consider yourself a spiritual person? —Ian

Yes. I believe you are your own doorway to an understanding of something greater. I never think of how I can get bigger or better, I just think, How can I go deeper? How can I know myself more so that I’m a clearer conduit for whatever else is in the ether? Meditation’s a big part of my life. I was already doing that when I was young, thinking about what I wanted to do, things I wanted to manifest. And most of it was about the written word. I really like to channel through writing in my own small way. I don’t consider myself a truth seeker in that way. I’m just my own dialogue.

What makes you feel hopeful? —Gabriel

Really good music. Or meeting someone who I’m sure has zero ulterior motives. Being in the middle of a tour, too.

So much of your music is about love. What has it taught you? —Emily

That it’s not what I thought. And that the best is yet to come.

Have you ever considered writing and directing your own feature-length or short film? —Toni

I thought about writing a biopic about someone that wasn’t real. Actually, I was asked to write a musical, which I’ve started. It was for Broadway. I may finish in two or three years. Me and Rick have written something, so we’ll see.

Which actress or director would you choose for a biopic based on your life? —Dixie

I’m thinking a big picture here, because I love Baz Luhrmann. Not sure who would play me though.

How much do you believe in supernatural things, like astrology and witchcraft? —Vera

I believe that you can enhance your intuition through living your best life. I’ve really found that by doing the next right thing, you are led to this path of synchronicity that gives your life a supernatural edge. I’m all about doing unto others as you would have done unto you.

Is there a quote you consider your life motto? —Maciej

One thing I wish I knew when I was younger is that the answers are within you. Everything you need to know you can access through your own practices and knowledge and the things that you’ve learned. I used to think that other people could show the way. So, I usually say, “To thine own self be true.”
