For the past couple of years I've been pretty bored with music in general... just bored with it.

To me, if you're going to talk about funk, you have to go back to George Clinton and Bernie Worrell. Those guys are the giants. I've played with Bernie, and it was unreal. He's the master.

You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it.

We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid.

I was able to go on stage and work until it felt right or felt good. It meant that I very quickly realised that it was the job for me.

When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to pursue law studies. I would have never imagined that my career would have taken a complete different route.

I want to be remembered as an actor who put in some good work in the beginning of his career, even better work at the end of his career and slowly, successfully made the transition into writing and directing.
