I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.

Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.

My mom and dad would take me all over. One night we'd be at the Apollo watching James Brown, and then I'd be at the Joffrey Ballet. It was that kind of scene.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.

Love is the most powerful energy there is.

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

I don't pull, I just receive.
