I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.

Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.

When people don't understand my work, I don't feel like explaining.

Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.

I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.

But think of the violence, it could happen to your kids.

When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition.
