When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it.

The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.

Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.

Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.

People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.

I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.

Anger is an emotion that is very energetic. It is an ideal emotion to turn it around to make it work as a positive force.

Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.

We don't live by just sleeping and eating. We need pride and dignity in our lives. Work gives you that.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.

I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.
