"  You recorded your new album, Black and White America, mostly in the Bahamas. That must have been nice. I moved there for two years on and off. I had one bag, a few shirts, a couple of jeans, and a pair of shoes that I never wore. I lived in my Airstream trailer \u2014 and I&amp;#039;ve never been happier. That kind of lifestyle isn&amp;#039;t for everyone, though.  When people visit, they go nuts. They&amp;#039;re used to that constant urban stimulation. And here I am with no Internet, no TV. I had one friend who freaked out after just one night! How come you&amp;#039;re able to unplug so easily? I spent all my childhood vacations in the islands, where my mother [Roxie Roker, from The Jeffersons] was from. You have a design firm \u2014 tell me about that.  It&amp;#039;s Kravitz Design. We&amp;#039;re working on a 50-story high-rise in Miami now, and doing all of it. And you&amp;#039;re acting! Do you like it? I love being directed. When I&amp;#039;m working on music, it&amp;#039;s all me. Acting is the opposite, and that&amp;#039;s a wonderful thing. Are you good at taking direction? Yeah. I grew up performing at the Metropolitan Opera, and as a teen I sang in the California Boys&amp;#039; Choir. I like being part of a group. Speaking of direction, how hands-on are you as a parent with your daughter, Zo\u00EB? Zo\u00EB knows what she&amp;#039;s doing \u2014 she&amp;#039;s really smart and intuitive. I just watch and smile. And everything I do is for her. You must be the coolest father on the planet. We hang out a lot. Her friends say, &amp;quot;Wow, I wish I had that with my dad.&amp;quot; My group of friends is her group of friends. But that can be complicated, no? Is she protective of you? Very. She screens all the women I date! I would imagine you can&amp;#039;t exactly date her pals \u2014 or even women close to her age [23]. It&amp;#039;s an interesting dynamic. I feel like a kid still, and I look in the mirror and not a lot has changed. I&amp;#039;ve definitely upped the age of the women I date. But I&amp;#039;ve always dated women of all ages. And a very cool mix: Lisa Bonet, Nicole Kidman.... Who&amp;#039;s next? I&amp;#039;m waiting to see what God presents me with. I&amp;#039;m a hopeless romantic. It&amp;#039;s all in my songs. What style are you rocking these days? I call it urban nomad \u2014 a world traveler from the jungle to the desert to the city. I&amp;#039;ve been through every kind of style, and some have been scary! Sounds like you&amp;#039;re perfectly suited to play Cinna in The Hunger Games. Tell me about him.  Cinna is a stylist, in charge of creating images for this girl who has to go out and survive. And what he creates has to be liked by the crowds; it&amp;#039;s a key element to her existence. Did you have any say in your costumes?  I definitely gave my opinion to the wardrobe people. But it was their call in the end. Does it work? You&amp;#039;ll have to see for yourself...
