A technicality I'm prepared to hide wildly behind.
Performances have a bit of a life and a time scale to themselves.
I probably protect myself by not asking myself too much.
Sometimes I start with music on and then I get distracted because I'm working to a different rhythm; I'm not working to myself. So, I don't have music on when I'm working.
I like actual songs and bands, but it's usually parts, like the production, the bassline, the drums, that I'm really attracted to.
I've got a twin sister who's an artist and growing up I was always "the loud one. " She's not actually quiet at all, but I would rather fill a gap with chatter and she would just let a gap be. So there was no inclination to actually perform.
Being on the same level as everybody is really important to me. I'm trying to do really basic stuff like communicate, convey, talk, see, and invite joining and intimacy. What I'm trying to do is attach. It's not about being separate.
Everyone wants to label me, but I don't want to be labeled as a rapper or a movie actor.
My father's mother, my Grandmother Young, was said by the family to have talked herself to death. Convalescing from a fever, she had defied the doctors and gone right on talking.
I have been 'diving within' through the Transcendental Meditation technique for over 30 years. It has changed my life, my world. I am not alone. Millions of other people of all ages, religions, and walks of life practice the technique and enjoy incredible benefits.
The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.
