With "Let's Dance," there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.

I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.

If it works, it's out of date.

I don't have stylistic loyalty. That's why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

I'm not sure whether it is me changing my mind, or whether I lie a lot.

I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
