I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.

I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood; it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.

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.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.

Musicians used to be way more instrumental just in providing a soundtrack to what's going on in the world. And it's also important to state what we think. There's like this fear for their career, if they have anything intelligent to say about politics. And that's really messed up.

I'm a very caring person.

The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.
