family father heart
My father had to go to work, I used to think he was a jerk. I didn't know his heart was broken, and not another word was spoken.
strong believe responsibility
I do see that the world that we live in is collapsing to a certain extent, and civilization as we know it is caving in on itself. I believe that we are at a very low level of consciousness, and we do not know how to treat each other as human beings. We are caught up in our own lives, our own needs, our own ego gratification. I feel a strong sense of responsibility in delivering that message.
thinking different scared
I think they were scared of me because I was different.
girl school boys
And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn't fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits.
self-esteem school awkward
I felt very awkward and out of place in school. Not popular, not attractive, not special in any way and I was longing for love and approval from someone.
littles rooms tiny
For me, it's all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It's almost like you have to be in a prison.
light speed faster
And I feel faster than the speeding light.
song fun ideas
I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in "Body Shop"] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.
way living-my-life planets
If I can't be daring in my work or the way I live my life, then I don't really see the point of being on this planet.
travel nice holiday
If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate, just one day out of life, it would be, it would be so nice.
real inspiration creativity
If you're going to be an artist, real life is your inspiration.
dark italian men
Being blonde is definitely a different state of mind. I can't really put my finger on it, but the artifice of being blonde has some incredible sort of sexual connotation. Men really respond to it. I love blonde hair but it really does something different to you. I feel more grounded when I have dark hair, and I feel more ethereal when I have light hair. It's unexplainable. I also feel more Italian when my hair is dark.
flower fighting men
I used mythology to tell the story [in Living with Love], with the story of the minotaur and the matador and fighting and fighting for love and the color red and flowers and horns and death and naked men. You know, the important things in life.
careers romance spontaneous
Romance should be spontaneous, but in my career I'm totally in control.
