Vulnerability is a wonderful thing. We're all so afraid to be vulnerable in this world.

I was into acting as a kid. There was a time when I was 18 that I played the boy in a production of 'Equus' in Oregon, and I thought that was going to be my life.

If I've grown as an artist, it will be represented in the art. There's no need to explain it.

The world that I come from is the world of raves, hip-hop clubs, and rock and roll.

Some artists are bound to an image: Bob Marley has dreadlocks, Matisyahu has a beard. But that's a reminder that the whole thing is not about style. It's about music.

I don't think you could pull one Bob Marley song that didn't have quotes from the Torah or the Old Testament.

There is an idea in Kabbalah that the creation of the world is created through space. God is an ever present Being, and in order for anything outside of Him to exist, like this world for example, there needs to be what's called a TumTum[a], or a withdrawal of Godly-like. And that withdrawal happens not by connection but actually by separation. Conflict. And in the gap of that conflict is where the world is situated. That's where the world is created and lived.
