I love horses. I think I may have been one of Henry VIII’s knights in another life, riding through a great forest.

Who is my role model and how long can I keep this going? I just move around and do different things and come back to music, try making films and come back to music, write children's books and come back to music.

I'm sure other people have a very strange view of my lifestyle.

Ultimately it boils down to the same thing all relationships boil down to: eating humble pie. I sometimes eat quite a lot. But, however bitter it might taste, it's the best pie. It's on the menu constantly for both parties.

I've studied Kabbalah, as you know, for many years, so there are a lot of things I do that one would associate with practising Judaism. I hear the Torah every Saturday. I observe Shabbat. I say certain prayers. My son was bar mitzvahed. So this appears like I'm Jewish, but these rituals are connected to what I describe as the Tree of Life consciousness and have more to do with the idea of being an Israelite, not Jewish.

When I first moved to New York I wanted to be a dancer, I danced professionally for years, living a hand-to-mouth existence.

We all fall to the floor at some point. It's how you pick yourself up that's the real challenge. Isn't it?
