But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

I like to think Duke Ellington would probably embrace a fragrance as well.

I didn't really want to give up music.

Other bands wanted to wreck hotel rooms; Roxy Music wanted to redecorate them.

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.

It's quite funny that, 20 years ago, one would have thought putting out a fragrance would [negatively] affect your musical credibility. Now it may enhance it.

Everyone in rock 'n roll including myself was touched by Elvis's spirit, I was, and always will be a fan.
