I always try to balance the light with the heavy - a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.
I'm not interested in perfection. The universe is perfect, and there are some works of art that we see as perfect, but human beings aren't perfect.
I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
All these children [who did not have music and art classes at school] go out into the world without knowing that there is anything other than what they have. Of course, children do look at TV, but what does it give them?
That's why I'm concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds. Education is my next big thing. When music and art were taken out of the schools, I went berserk!
