I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.

There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.

Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.

Elvis was a major hero of mine. I was probably stupid enough to believe that having the same birthday as him actually meant something.

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.

I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.

When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star.
