If you have more money than you need, you have to give it away. It's a duty. I get to choose whom to sponsor, and I like to give to the areas that I know something about.

Nicolette, Kendalle, and Alexandra are my children. Their mother, Cynthia Beck, and I, love them very much.

The Getty family has been fully supportive throughout 'double life' situation, and for that, I am very grateful.

I want to make the world better.

My music is all about an idealistic human personality. I have 19th-century ideals.

It's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.

I personally do not write highbrow music. If I do, it's by accident.
