[09:52] “The thing that makes you an adult is the day that you realize that whatever you're going through, millions of other people are going through it too. So there is no reason to hold anything back.”
[14:36] “If you don't take real action towards a dream or if you do and either thing doesn't deliver that dream in a timely manner, there's a lot of dreams. Let's find something that will satiate you.”
[23:58] “I believe, like you, in meditation, and breathing, and getting as centered as possible, and giving myself permission to be just a wreck. I did that. And then I gave myself permission to get myself out of it.”
[32:55] “It's okay to lose stuff, and money, and things. It's not okay to lose who you are, yourself, in the process, especially if you know yourself and you like yourself.”
[39:16] “Once you accept that, ‘This is me; this is my life; this is my condition; this is the world. This is me. And it's okay. It is okay.’ you don't have to escape it. And if you don't have to escape something, you don't need the substances. You can just be yourself.”
