I was always talking about peace and love, even when I was a kid. That's how I grew up in my family.
I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.
I haven't thought about making a music film, but if I did, that would be a very interesting idea.
I'm sure at one point I will do some acting again, but it would have to be the right thing. I'm not going to do it just because people are offering it to me. Not for those box-office, bullshit, money, noncreative people. But I'll do it when it's right to do it.
Me being in my grandmother's yard in Brooklyn. I must have been about 3. I had this red balloon. I let go of it, and it went up into the sky and just kept going and going. I completely flipped out, because I didn't understand why.
I used to do plays and some television commercials when I was younger. I guess my mom's being an actress got me interested in that, but music definitely took its place.
One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.
Music, for me, is completely self-indulgent. I write it, I play the instruments, I arrange it, I produce it. It's all about me - as it should be.
One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.
I identify with women more than men. I guess I have a strong feminine side.
I'm in this for the long haul. I've been making music my whole life.
