I don't want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new.
I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.
I love the ukulele. It's got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There's something innocent and romantic, and it's just a grand instrument to play.
I love shopping at Zara or Topshop. I'm not going to go out and spend $1,200 on a Chloe top that I'm probably going to spill something on.
I just love to have fun with music, and try to find songs that say something that people want to hear.
I would love to do something for TV... I wanna do 'Kavalier & Clay' on HBO as an eight-parter. It'll be so much better as a series, honestly.
I would love to compose something for dance before I kick the bucket, and I'm not closed-minded about the dance, or the dance company.
I like information. I love when smart people make me think of something in a new way.
The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.
I made the decision that I was going to make rap music in, like, fourth grade, so it's been something I was saying for a long time.
I had always thought that I would do something that was connected to music as a career, or possibly Chinese, which was my major.
I think that most of my romance comes out in my music. And if you look at my track record of three ex-wives, maybe there's something to that.
Jane's Addiction has only put out new music when our hearts were in and when we had something to say creatively.
The experiences of promoting my first album were really something; there is so much illusion in my environment (touring and pop music) that I wanted to clear away.
You're just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you're just narrating it with music, letting it move along.
Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.
You have to give kids something to rebel against. You can't like their music - you have to call it noise. It's incumbent on a parent.
When I started making music, I was so heavy into the hyphy movement. That's something you only know so much about if you were right there living in it, submerged in the culture.
I feel I was born with the music coming to me, and that's not something to be wasted.
I think that there's always room for humour in music. It's something that always takes itself so seriously, which I think is a bit of a shame.
Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.
