I am ridiculously high-maintenance.

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.

I still believe that love is the most powerful force in the world, even though I am yet to experience it fully.

The thing I hate most is false modesty. The artists who are, like, "Oh, you know, I'm really not that good. Oh, I can't believe I'm here." I find it vaguely sinister, even.

Prima Donna is my kind of love song to opera but it's not the full experience.

I'm not born again, I'm not Kabbalah, God forbid, but I did have an experience hitting 30 that I needed to lean on something that assured me that everything is going to be okay. I had to regain a lot of my belief in fairy tales, in happy endings.

I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.
