I love mixing up my genres.

I am so sick of reading about another car bomb, another suicide bomber, another 10, 20, 30, 70, 100 people dead in a day, both Americans and Iraqis.

I don't do comparisons because I always lose.

For me, art is a more trustworthy expression of God than religion.

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.

I choose not to give energy to the emotions of revenge, hatred or the desire to subjugate.

The thing that scares me most is the shift from serving the people to exercising power and with it, this attendant narcissism. Sarah Palin is a great example of someone that just stirs the pot for the sake of the attention.
