I always have the fear that, if I don't commit 100 percent to my work, then it's gonna suffer.

My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.

There are certain aspects of acting that I don't like. I'm not a person who loves being on set. I mean, I know people that have their espresso machines in their trailers and they like being in there and they put pictures on walls. But I don't like it. I don't like sitting around.

Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.

I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.

When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.

I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.
