music-love
I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.
high-heels guitar ukulele
As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele.
native-american home animal
I have a lot of different collections of cards at home. It's hard to say my favorite deck, but there is a deck called the medicine cards, and it's Native American animal cards.
fragrance lines mixed perfume smell
My signature fragrance would be herbal - basil mixed with rosemary and coriander. Some big stars have got perfume lines that smell really bad. They've got it all wrong.
antique brooklyn dusty good meddling name
Saturdays are set for antique shops. Williamsburg in Brooklyn has some good ones. I get in there and start meddling around with dusty boxes and rickety, worn-in stuff. I like it when I find something with someone else's name on it.
meditate sit slow tail
I've been busy and need to slow my little tail down and sit and meditate somewhere. I do my walking meditations every day, but just to sit still. Just to be in one place and just to be quiet.
confuses music people
My music confuses people because they think I will sound a certain way because I look a certain way with the dreads.
buddhist care christian listen message muslim open religion simple song whatever
I don't care if you're Muslim or Christian or Buddhist or whatever your religion is, when you listen to a spiritual song and you really open your heart, you can feel it. You can feel the message of it. Just a simple story.
number ugly
My number one style requirement is to have fun getting dressed. Nothing is too old, expensive, cheap, cute or ugly for me.
lyrics music writer writers writes
Every writer writes in different ways, and so some write the music first, while others write the lyrics first, and some write while they are doing other things, and it is just nice to see how other writers are writing.
