I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.

I'm really getting better at guitar. I'm not trapped behind a piano. You can get out and move with a guitar and still direct the band.

Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?

I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.

Today's records, even though they may be lyrically repetitive and not saying anything particularly heavy, they have energy.

I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity.
