Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance.
My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.
When the Fugees were big, we made a whole lot of money, and what happened was that I saved my money and never spent it.
The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.
Those things interest me a lot in songwriting - the human nature of how people think, and the muck that we wind up in.
I am big into water sports and just being out on the water. That is second nature to me, being from Florida.
I did literature at university, so I had a real relationship with poetry, but they don't make many films about the world of a poet.
I think I wanted to write a book about the relationship between the victim and perpetrator in which the victim agrees to remain silent.
When you're in a relationship you want it to work. My parents did, I did. But we are not taught how to make it work.
I would stay on, but 'General Hospital' honestly doesn't seem to want that relationship with this character at the moment. They want little short doses during sweeps periods.
The end of anything is not fun because there's a nostalgia to it and everything else. Even the end of a bad relationship can feel so, so, so sad.
In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.
Relationships are so much a rerun of our parental relationships. We're rerunning the relationship they were in together and we're rerunning the relationship we had with them with our lover.
There's nothing worse than walking around and talking about your failed relationship, all day, every day, for months on end.
I don't think that anyone should be in control of a relationship. I think that if you have a woman that controls her man, he is a puppet, and he is weak.
My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives.
There are a few writers that one has a relationship with that means, basically, you do whatever they say. One is Caryl Churchill, and the other is David Hare.
We all think that this relationship thing is a game out here. All I'm saying to women is, 'Okay. If it's a game, here are the rules that we play by.'
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve.
But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.
A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
