Wisdom corresponds to the future; it is philosophy.

When I was young I used to listen to everything.

While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future.

I've been a religious, spiritual person for a long time.

Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.

Music truly is the universal language.

I have to care and I have to be honest and have the courage to be vulnerable. If that happens, then that's the best I can do. To just be a puppet for the audience is not very courageous. Just to do whatever they say they want - because a lot of times people will hear something new that they hadn't heard before and get turned on by a new experience and will want to hear more of that.
