Many things inspire me. First and foremost, my family, my husband, and our son. I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.

I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'

A lot of times I watch TV and I watch film and there's so many things I'd love to talk about that I feel don't get the opportunity to be shown. Sometimes things become very stereotypical and one-sided, and I feel like it's such a colorful world.

Something I've learned from people like U2, the Stones and Lenny Kravitz is that the grind of live shows is so necessary [to build your career].

I find myself to be truly primal and passionate. Everything I do comes from a primal place.

I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.

Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didnt exist.
