If I had a musical identity that was definable then it would be time to get into painting or something else. Race car driving.

I think that one of the main privileges of what I do, which I am just starting to learn, is to have the ability to travel all over the world and experience different cultures.

I'm not usually in a talkative mode.

Friends of mine that are from here or that have spent time here have told me about Israel and how warm the people are and that I should someday come here.

In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.

If you sold a million records, the only way you could be disappointed is if the guy down the street sold seven million. But you've got to start dodging bullets once you've sold that many records, because everybody wants to kill you. We're not in that position. We can still be very successful and not have to worry about wearing bulletproof vests.

I would hope that the future would have an international community that's not just bent on commerce, but that's focused on refugees, of all kinds and from all places. We don't know that won't happen in the U.S. someday. It literally could be a crisis from climate change, or anything. I think there needs to be a global focus on people taking care of people.
