The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it.

I think every time I said, "I'm working with Nile [Rodgers]," the reaction was, "Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' " I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make "Let's Dance." We just wanted to work together again.

I think getting married and then running away for 10 months would be an absolute disaster.
