The director's job should give you a sense of music without drawing attention to itself.
I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
I'm interested in how identity is transient. How do we know who we really are, when different situations and environments dictate how we behave? I'm interested in the role we all play. We spend our whole lives becoming ourselves when we are born as no one else.
Fake it, fake your confidence until it's real. I think it's a good way to live most of your life.
I've really come into my own as an artist. I'm much more sure of my identity and understand it much better, and have accepted the fact that I like to jump around a lot in terms of who I am and what kind of music I create, and that it is okay - in fact, that is my main identity, the fact that I do that.
There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.
A teacher's failure to create an intellectually reflective, engagement for learning is not simply malpractice but it is immoral particularly for students who cannot withdraw.
I feel like real thoughts and emotions involve the whole being. And they also outstrip little personal quirks, and they outstrip biography. You end up on a really special, universal, shared terrain in those experiences. I think it's available to absolutely every single thing made of flesh and blood.
I had diverged, digressed, wandered, and become wild. I didn't embrace the word as my new name because it defined negative aspects of my circumstances or life, but because even in my darkest days—those very days in which I was naming myself—I saw the power of the darkness. Saw that, in fact, I had strayed and that I was a stray and that from the wild places my straying had brought me, I knew things I couldn't have known before.
I'm always willing to dub myself in all the five languages that I speak for the international market, because I think it's better when our audience hears the real voice of the actor that is acting.
