Here's the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not, I don't care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it's all coming out of the box.
If a musician dares to get out of the box he's been put in, people get confused. They want people where they can find them! I am fortunate in some respects as I've always been known as someone who 'moves around' and tries different things. But generally, we are supposed to stay where we're put.
Smart people are a dime a dozen. What matters is the ability to think different... to think out of the box.

I am really nice. But not in the cage.

Obvious is not my forte. I take a left turn right when everybody thinks I'm going to go straight.
It's helpful to have a handbag that's a bit crazy, or shoes that have kiwis on them or something, because it distracts.

When you first come out of the box, you want to play the 300-capacity place, then it's 1,600-capacity, then it's an arena - so, do you want to be in a stadium now? The ego keeps telling you that it's not enough.
Yes, I am extremely choosy. You decide whether to do a film or not only after you meet and talk to the film-maker. Only someone who thinks out of the box excites me.
