My mom worked as a pharmacist, but she is one of the best storytellers I know. My sister is a gospel and opera singer and my brother, who passed away, was a writer.

I have always loved fairy tales, even now at the age when I am supposed to be too grown up and cynical for them.

Love transcends dimensions of time and space.

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.

Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps.

Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.

I was determined to experience the birth, and I am so scared at the thought of having my abdomen cut open. So I was lucky that the birth went very smoothly.

We were wavering around like a ship without a sail.

In terms of picking album titles or picking track titles, I think very carefully on all of that because that is the entrance point.

I think most people's careers in theater are based on delusion. It's just that mine started early.

I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.
