I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.

It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.

Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh, but the way they carry themselves, how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it, that's what makes it cool.
