I've quit drugs and drinking and been into healthy stuff like yoga.

The most promising Princess Superstar quotes that will inspire your inner self
I want to inspire people to become their higher selves, their best selves.
My parents were real classic rock freaks, so I heard a lot of Zeppelin, Stones, Hendrix stuff. Thankfully, they were also into lots of old soul, too, so we listened to Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire and War. I was so isolated where I grew up (a small town in Pennsylvania) that there was literally no culture.
People will less and less need to put an identity on genres, such as "hip hop," "electronica" and so forth. That's what I try to do with Princess Superstar. Why should a musician be limited to only one form or one genre of music? And so, I think the same will hold true for the whole male/female categorization.
I don't like being preachy. I think using fun and humor is an excellent way to make people think.
We are all so self-obsessed, not really helping others as we should, spreading the love so to speak.
Usually I will hear a sample, think of a theme and then it will take me a couple of days to write down some lyrics. Then I will decide that I hate those lyrics and rewrite. Then I will change all the music around. Then I will rewrite all the lyrics again. I am a bit of a perfectionist although you would never know it because all my songs are like chopped up and @#$%& up, but you see that's on purpose.
I wanted to make some music with deeper meaning mixed with the fun and cool stuff I've been doing for so long.
I try to stay far away from all of them.
I was tempted to go to my snotty high school reunion, but luckily I resisted the urge--when I received the hand-out that described what everyone is doing now, I fell asleep reading it. Boring!
I'm not sure what kept me from the mainstream.
I thought it was because I was too hard to pin down genre-wise.
I am not one of those writers that it just flows out of effortlessly.
I have to sit and write and rewrite and sometimes it's really challenging to get anything good out of myself.
I love New York so much; I could never live anywhere else, and ESPECIALLY not in my hometown.
Everything I do has to come from a sense of fun and joy.
I just feel like everyone (including myself) on the planet is a little confused;
we are all so driven by consumption - shopping, eating, getting high, whatever - anything to not "feel" what is really going on.
