When I was 16, I felt very relieved to discover cinema. It was like an island where I could see life and death from another perspective. Every young person should be interested in that island. It's a beautiful place.

I don't think men were meant to be interviewed.

We all get a little tired of being ourselves sometimes. The answer is to reinvent yourself, but how do you do that and what is the cost?

Video is freeing, but also lazier. You have to recreate the love of the moment.

I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.

I get to travel the world doing what I love to do - making other people happy... They might not even understand my words, but the one thing everybody understands is music.

I travel around the world, experiencing every language, every religion... some places where there's just no reason to smile, because their lives are so difficult.

One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, 'Well, really, what were they thinking?'
