I think what makes people think that is because of things people write. It really doesn't have anything to do with the artist.

Whereas I want everything to be peaceful during a birth, I take the total opposite approach when I'm helping someone come to terms with leaving this place - I play Richard Pryor records.

I create my own calm and I keep my balance, because I know that it's not really me, by myself... The Creator always gives me the energy.

All the women in my family were very creative.

I take the same approach in all genres of art, across the board. It's intuitive.

Don't let anybody infiltrate your dream

I have an apartment in Brooklyn - I guess I call it my shrine. I go there to create and recoup, or hibernate sometimes, but my home is in Dallas where I live with my children.
