"Everyone has a self-destructive nature in them. It's whether you feed it or not. You don't have to be a pop star to feel connected to destruction or self-destruction.

Then we somehow developed language, which meant cultural evolution could race so we could change our behavior really quickly instead of over hundreds and hundreds of years.

And maybe we end up with a spiritual evolution, which is this connectedness with the rest of the life forms on the planet."
