There came a point in my life after I was dismissed from the band where I thought music could take me down....I even quit playing for a while, and now I've gotten back to the point where I do have an accountable relationship with my instrument...I have a session from 8-9 every morning where I practice; it's an amazing thing to have.

When you look at kids today, they're exposed to so much fear in the current educational system in America, the first thing kids start thinking about is 'what if I don't get a good grade?'....'What if I don't get good grades in college and I don't get a good job; I'm going to be miserable'. Those are all fear-based initiatives, that's how the general public generally lives their lives....that's counter to the artistic process, where the universe knows best....I'm going to allow for the great things that are going to happen to me to happen; that's a difference experience than this holy shit moment after holy shit moment that kids are experiencing today.....you can manufacture a life as a doctor, but there's so much more that can happen....

He's such a good guy though. He is kinda new age-y and hippie-ish like Corgan, but I respect him about 200x more. Plus he's actually giving back, starting this monastery, doing drum clinics, selling his old equipment, being awesome; rather than doing Alex Jones interviews and being shitty about new Pumpkins stuff and just generally coming off like a dick.
