I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.
Typically I go in the studio and whatever I'm contemplating that day will wind up being a song. I don't come in with lyrics... I just go in and let it happen.
I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.
I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.
In the past, I had workaholic issues.
Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.
Looking for approval or blaming others or feeling like a victim. Whenever I feel myself doing that I try to stop and see myself as someone who's a creator in more ways than just what the word typically means.
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.
I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.
I think when someone blindly projects and it's showing up in the form of envy or hate - and I actually think they're synonymous - that's when I feel the most afraid and disconnected and vulnerable. Like whenever I don't feel safe in my own hands, in terms of my not being tender or merciful with myself, or when we're treating each other that way.
When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.
