My goal as a creative person is to express truth and beauty in whatever I do

If you are creative, you get busier as you get older.

I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.

I've taken stuff from people, too. You know though, if you steal from one person, you're just a thief. But if you steal from everyone, that's research.

I try to tell the story about the song with the believability that I've lived it myself and I understand what it's all about.

I consider myself a method singer, not a method actor. I applied method acting to singing.

It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off. And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way.
