    I think the interviewer had more questions, but rather than prioritizing the questions over what they had to say and letting them just speak, was the best choice. And I think she understood that, so she probably just decided what the more interesting/important questions to ask would be. My favorite interview so far.

      Wisdom is friendly with age, and is far less fond of youth. Youth is more eager to express what it knows and what it's all about. I don't know how this was cut, but I notice how Sting just bides his time and finally spoke up. I'd like to see those two interviewed more at length. (By the way Sting has had an Oscar nominated song or two, also.)

      @billhicks6449 3 роки тому +17

      Its tough to express as a guy, but she really had an effect on me as well. I heard little Earthquakes for the first time I was 14. I came from a totally destroyed home, drugs, abuse, etc. I had been recruited to a high school for my athletic ability (though I was very smart as well). Add on I never had a mother (she died in childbirth in 1980). She was the first female that ever spoke to me on a real level. When she sang "First my left foot then my right behind the other" I felt like an angel was out there and understood how it all seemed so fake and how lightly I had to tread. Of course she wasn't talking about my situation, but someone out there was seeing it in their own way too. That empowered me to follow my heart.. not to mention everything else she wrote.
      Within 2 years I'd quit all the nonsense and transferred to an art school. I found myself and though I never got famous or made a million dollars, I learned to love myself. And it wouldn't have happened without Tori.

      Dylan Blue yeah, me too! I'm a makeup artist (a certified one lol) and I always thought that I had to use makeup everyday. She showed me that's not the case!

      Dylan Blue my problem was that she only did it once she got rid of her acne and her skin was clear. I wish she had talked about that when she talked about why she stopped wearing makeup.

      Dylan Blue she does say though beauty is different to everyone and make up is still beautiful she isn't bashing women who wear it she is just expressing her true self think that's important

      Dylan Blue I respect the message but truthfully I don't respect her movement because I don't think it's genuine. Alicia was proactive spokesperson who dealt with acne for a long time, I would've respected it so much more if she would have done this back then.

      Babe With A Stack well it's not as if people are fixed in a certain mentality all of their life. Not that she's had her fair share of success she probably doesn't care about endorsements and other things
