The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you've got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.

What happened on As Cool As I Am was, you know how in the `90s, the personal is political, the political is personal? That was a really big thing. Choices you made about how you recorded and what instruments you used and how much real versus how much synthetic. Those were choices that were seen as very political at the time.

Every once in a while I check and I say, do I still believe in God? And the answer is absolutely yes. And then I think, I suppose I should go to church now. But after going to so many churches in my life and trying to go with the flow with so many denominations, Eastern and Western, I don't really feel I need to go to church at all.
