The Internet was crucial for our success. It is a great thing. It is a big democracy because people can choose what they like.

When I was a kid, I collected cactuses. I had hundreds of different kinds in my room. I was a weird child. Everyone was playing football, and I was collecting cactuses. I spent all my money on them. I had so many colors and shapes. I even gave them names.

We are so excited to be touring and showing audiences the versatility of the cello.

I love watching live shows from different artists from different stages of their lives. I'm always interested in the mastery of the live performance.

My dad loved music, and he passed that on to me. I fell in love with hip-hop the first time I heard it. I started writing raps at a young age. I wasn't a Christian at that point. I thought I was, but I don't think I was, looking back on it.

Art - be it painting, sculpture, music - they are all creations, they are creative acts. I consider a film, with everything that is involved in it, an art.

Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.
