I've Studied Kabbalah, As You Know, For Many Years, So There Are A Lot Of Things I Do That One Would Associate With Practising Judaism. I Hear The Torah Every Saturday. I Observe Shabbat. I Say Certain Prayers. My Son Was Bar Mitzvahed. So This Appears Like I'm Jewish, But These Rituals Are Connected To What I Describe As The Tree Of Life Consciousness And Have More To Do With The Idea Of Being An Israelite, Not Jewish.

Trying To Be A Professional Dancer, Paying My Rent By Posing Nude For Art Classes, Staring At People Staring At Me Naked.

Being Blonde Is Definitely A Different State Of Mind. I Can't Really Put My Finger On It, But The Artifice Of Being Blonde Has Some Incredible Sort Of Sexual Connotation. Men Really Respond To It. I Love Blonde Hair But It Really Does Something Different To You. I Feel More Grounded When I Have Dark Hair, And I Feel More Ethereal When I Have Light Hair. It's Unexplainable. I Also Feel More Italian When My Hair Is Dark.

I Do See That The World That We Live In Is Collapsing To A Certain Extent, And Civilization As We Know It Is Caving In On Itself. I Believe That We Are At A Very Low Level Of Consciousness, And We Do Not Know How To Treat Each Other As Human Beings. We Are Caught Up In Our Own Lives, Our Own Needs, Our Own Ego Gratification. I Feel A Strong Sense Of Responsibility In Delivering That Message.

Thinking Isn't Something You Think About. It Comes Naturally. Thinking Involves Many Things. It Involves Being An Observer. It Involves Analyzing Things, Taking In What's Around You In The World And Finding How To Make It Inspire Your Work Or Turn It Into A Lesson To Teach Your Children; It's Paying Attention To Details. That's What Thinking Is: Processing.

I Believe What I Practice Has To Do With Something Deeper Than Religion, That It Embodies All Religions, Including Judaism. And Christianity. And Islam.
