In the '80s, everyone wanted to be in opera. It was groovy.

Having grown up far, far away in a small country town in Australia, I was only slightly aware of hip-hop.

To be honest, there is a tourists' trail; my family had a farm and a gas station, and you can go and see my birthplace, though where I lived is actually under a freeway now.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself

I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.

Don't worry about the future.

I mean the future has become old fashioned.
