I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.

Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

The key to living a moral life is this: Do nothing in private that you would be ashamed to discuss openly with your mother.

If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture.

I cannot believe there is a god who punishes and rewards, for I see honest folk unlucky, and rogues unlucky.
