I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.

We believe Frederick Nietzsche couldn't have been more right when he said 'without music, life would be a mistake.

I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.

I was just talking to Bono the other day, and he was like, "Are you doing shows?" I've just been off the road for a month-and-a-half, and he was like, "You lucky girl."

I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.

I've stepped more into my womanhood, I'm a mother now, I'm having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

When I was a kid I'd practise Chopin on piano - and I love Chopin! He's my dawg! Then I'd go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I'm from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.
