I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.

I'm very inspired by past music.

Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.

I think I was affected quite a bit by musical and creative influences that go all the way back to my childhood.

I've had a wonderful life with music.

People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.

My songwriting and my style became more complex as I listened, learned, borrowed and stole and put my music together.

I sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at.

The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

I think my philosophy in music has been to accentuate the positive.
