But I want to deepen as an artist, and working with Shakespeare definitely points in that direction.

I don't know if it will be my big comeback, but I think it is a statement - that I am a self-sustaining, vibrant, long-term artist, and I'm not going away! And if you don't give me credit, then the musical gods will!

All these poses of classical torture ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard. I did go from wanting to be someone, now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue.

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 definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.

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

I love being not cool.
