daughter pain heart
Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.

Imagine the clouds dripping Dig a hole in your garden to put them in
art cutting ideas
The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.
thinking black might
It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.
thinking differences bigs
I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.
confused confusion people
Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less; we're trained to be confused. Quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. It's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.
thinking artist decision
I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.

Give peace a chance and let's hope that one day we will all live in peace.

men suffering feminism
There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.
thinking spirit indie-music
I'm into indie music. I think indie is going to bring back the spirit in music. There was a time when it was all about accommodating the music business, the music was getting tasteless, but the spirit is back.
mean men thinking
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.
summer perseverance gratitude
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
