I try to stay out of the spotlight.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.

I think for more than half of my career, I have refrained from talking to the media.

I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.

It shifted attention away from that and I've never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.

I just thought I'd take a break from publishing for a while.

I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.

I was in a profession that received a lot of media.

I was never one to seek out the spotlight. I am kind of a private person, so I don't miss that part of show business at all.
