Life and love inspire me. I think reinventing yourself is vital to your survival as an artist and a human being. I know it’s cliché to say about me at this point, but it’s true. My curiosity definitely is the driving force in my life and career. When you stop learning, engaging and growing, you’re dead.

Before doing any interviews I like to know who I'm meeting with and get a bit of an idea of their sensibilities.

The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.

Sometimes you just have to go and make a mess of things to get people to pay attention.

Many people see Eva Peron as either a saint or the incarnation of Satan. That means I definitely can identify with her.

To me, the most important thing - aside from meeting people's physical needs, whether that's education, health care, clothing, food, a roof over their heads - is changing the mind-set and educating people. And most of all, most important, is empowering people and making them self-sustaining.

I like to touch people's hearts.
