It was the case in the 70s and 80s that people believed music could change the world. But now people aren't making music because they want to change the world; they're making music because they want to just make a ton of money.

Generally I don't listen to sad songs if I'm sad. I listen to happy songs.

My kids really are my center. They create a beautiful chaos. It's always a nice chaos with them.

I have always had a good functioning in my artistic life, but I had problems mostly in my private life, I got very angry with my boyfriends and stuff...I would probably have good reasons to be angry but the volume would be too high, just getting to some level of wounding that perhaps was not appropriate to the actual offence committed.

I guess there's a song for absolutely everything that could possibly happen to a person.

In my belief, there's one spirit. I prefer to call it the Holy Spirit. I don't think it matters if you call it God or Allah or Jesus or Fred or David or too early in the morning or whatever.

You must not try to be too pure, you must fly closer to the sea.
