I grew up with horrible skin. I had cystic acne ever since I can remember. I ended up finally listening to those people who say you are what you eat. I feel lucky that I got to work with some of the big legends in town. I grew up being absolutely in love with Tom …
I can only see what’s in front of me, but God can see what’s behind, what’s ahead of me, what’s beside me, and it just makes it so much easier to release control, cuz at the end of the day, if He brought me to it, He’s gonna have to bring me through it. I …
My biggest strength is I never look at the batsman’s name when bowling. Chess taught me patience. To kill time, I went to learn dance and there I met my to-be wife. She is a choreographer. We didn’t discuss Covid at home and did activities like Tik Tok to divert our minds. You can’t bowl …
I’m vegan, though not completely religious about it. While writing ‘Sapiens,’ I became familiar with how we treat animals in the meat and dairy industries. I was so horrified that I didn’t want to be a part of it anymore. Censorship no longer works by hiding information from you; censorship works by flooding you with …
I’m a lover, not a fighter, but I’ll fight if I have to. My personality is energetic, fun, yet slightly psychotic. If people don’t like who you are, they aren’t meant to be in your life. When I felt upset and lost, music always had the answer. The broken heart on my right finger represents …
I have people who say, ‘You should dress up like this, or you should dress more modest; you should cover up more.’ And then, at the other end of the spectrum, you have, like, ‘Why are you still wearing your scarf? You’re in America, you know.’ Embrace the color of your skin and your own …
I would convert to Judaism if the operation didn’t hurt so much. Music is the message of peace, and music only brings peace. My parents had chosen the medical profession for me. I even studied a few semesters at St Xavier’s College, but at the back of my mind, I always wanted to be a …
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house. A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he’s finished. Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful. I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back. All my …
But disco is the remedy for ghosts. So at 19, I faced my first blank page as a professional writer. To make a good film is an art. Gender is irrelevant when it comes to craft of filmmaking. At 19, while studying at St Xavier’s College and majoring in literature and sociology, I got my …
I accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That’s like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible. Nothing’s better than a picnic. I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy. I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to …
