The problem to me with environmentalism is the idea that we're all gonna die and we need to save ourselves. I don't think it's necessarily the right way to go about it, because I think we need to really just improve our every moment and improve our quality of life. And that will, sort of by default, save us.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.

Ethical systems and practices need to look good. They have to be desirable, well-designed and work well.

My wish list is pretty short. I wish that we had empathy. As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world. I truly believe that empathy is the key to solving the majority of our environmental and social problems.

Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much - then they get used to it.

People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was to pay my rent.
