In August most of Europe goes on holiday.

I am flying back to New York as I write this. I will never forget these wonderful 35 days and I would go back to Copenhagen in a heartbeat to work there again.

When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father's guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.

I am not a creature of habit.

It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.

I love Logic Audio and have been using it for years. All my track outputs used to come up on my old board in the same order as in the old Mac G4 - 1 through 32, came up as 1 through 32, for instance.

Fortunately I own a vintage brain, and I am alive and well in the 21st century, still making records, still working at an intense pace and most of all, still having fun doing it.

My father loved people, children and pets.

Now I know what it's like to be a rock star. No, I didn't sleep with 5 groupies at once. But I was interviewed about 45 times in 5 days in 3 cities.

No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.

Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production's sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.

Anything that was created today were once an unknown insecurity far beyond the next chapter of your life!

I haven't been silent. I teach, I lecture at universities, I write, I'm not silent.

I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that.

I just didn't know how much of this I was capable of. How far this - whatever it was - would actually go before old fears overshadowed the warmth.

Casting is so important, with any film you do. You have to get actors that you believe will fulfill the promise of the characters that are on the page.

The fragrance of nonviolence was never sweeter than it was today amidst the stink of violence of the most cowardly type that was being displayed in the cities of India.

Expensive clothes are a waste of money.

People need to have 'the dignity of risk' and 'the right to fail'.

Seekers are all following some distant star, and eventually will come to recognize that this star resides in their very core.

You always look like someone's sucked the life right out of you when something fascinates you. -Tris
