I've been friends with madonna for ever. In fact she was at my 3rd solo performance in 1990, and there were only 10 people in the audience.

I don't know many artists who are happy with themselves all of the time.

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.

I love it when celebrities fall apart.

I know it's simple, but my main inspiration is just my love of music. I know that sounds overly naive. But it's true.

I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.

The people who get more fame, who get more money, more often than not they are miserable, insecure and on anti-depressants. It's strange that everyone keeps buying into this idea that more success is good, that more fame is good, that more money is good. Yet, we look at the people who have more success, more fame, more money and they're miserable.
