I went to Paris in 1989 when the Americans didn't quite know what to do with me at first. Now, all those years later, it's kind of the same story. Not the same scenario, but kind of the same story.
It's very important to vote. People died for this right.
It's like a dream to come to Spain and stay for a couple of years and get somebody to teach me Spanish music.
I always read the Capitol as f—ked up pansexuality, everybody is doing everybody. Back to Greek and Roman times! It’s all happening.
When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer.
We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.
I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.
I feel like my best work is in front of me. I'm in the studio now, and I'm having an amazing time making this new album. It's something I can't help.
I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.
People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
Things that would shock us years ago are like nothing now.
I'm very much about the environment, I'm very much about health, about being able to, at the very least, eat organic, whole foods that are healthy for us. And then, of course, everyone being able to eat and at least have a humane way to live. There's enough for everybody, but unfortunately, there's a lot of greed and a lot of ego.
I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.
It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
