What I love about my daughter is that she is going to definitely allow me and force me to change my life and slow down and make it more about the real things in the world.

Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.

There is this church that I go to a lot in New York. I'm not religious but I love lighting candles and stuff. I find it useful.

One of the main destructive forces within our family has been these runaway egos. I think if you look at any show business family, that struggle exists.

Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?

Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge; I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces.

I'm very blessed, mainly because even though my family is mostly in show business, it's really centered around music. My parents were very successful in many ways, but they weren't necessarily top of the charts. We were never wealthy because of music. We always had to work and we always had to struggle a little bit, and I think at the end of the day that's been very good for me, because I have a sense of it being very ephemeral.
