Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world but he could never show it to his wife and son.

Nothing changes, until you change. Everything changes, once you change

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I am a complete mother's boy. I try to do everything with honour, respect and grace because the last thing I would want to do is hurt her.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

Anyone must remember that dad left when I was 3 years old. Mom and I lived out of the limelight. We lived a totally different life.

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

As much as I love music, in my mind, photography is what makes me the happiest - that's for sure.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

I think everyone has the potential to be creative but they have to find the avenue or avenues that work for them.

Tattoos are a permanent commitment of passion

The world doesn't need more people to save the world, what it really needs is more people to kick asses of those who pollute.

All these women had directed movies that I loved on the film festival circuit, but couldn't get a job making television. That's how locked down TV is.

Writing about women's sexuality is very scary for me because I'm always afraid I'll get it wrong.

When I first started acting, I was just crap.

We know how to organize warfare, but do we know how to act when confronted with peace?

There is no virtue inherent in un-constructive suffering.

Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.

That's another thing about being a certain age that I've noticed: I try as much as possible not to look in the mirror.

I've never thought sitting around worrying helps anything, except to help shorten your life.
