We don't understand each other. That's why there are so many bad things happening; a lot of it has to do with not understanding.

Are you outside or inside the work­? You don't really know.

My family life mirrors why I am the person I am.

If you're creating a smile in yourself and also giving it to someone else, then you've started a dialogue. You also start to play.

When you have children, you start to play with them and you mirror yourself. You see your parents in yourself. It's all about mirroring.

When you have children it wakes up the child in you.

I don't need to be everywhere because my art pieces can talk for themselves.

I think that this media online stuff makes us all sick. We think we have to be online all the time.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.

Is Zionism racism? I would say yes. It's a policy that to me looks like it has very many parallels with racism. The effect is the same. Whether you call it that or not is in a sense irrelevant.

And what I wanted to do was, I wanted to explore problems and areas where we didn't have answers. In fact, where we didn't even know the right questions to ask.

I have been honored and privileged to have led The Rockefeller Foundation for the last seven years, and I am excited to be leading the Foundation as we enter our centennial year.

Just make music; don't talk about politics.

Every band always tells you to raise your middle finger.

I don't do the mirror thing; maybe once or twice when I first started out.
