Well, I grew up between Holland and Israel and then moved to France when I was eleven.

Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.

Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

I like the fact that there is challenge.

It was an hour and a half plane ride, so I slept. I try to sleep because that's probably the only time I get to get my real sleep. When I can't sleep I read books or watch movies.

Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.

Live by the harmless untruths that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.

I am here and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to.

Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.

I want to fight for what we got because I believe in family.

Of all evil things the least quantity is to be borne, but of learning and knowledge, the more a man hath, the better he can bear it.
