Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.

And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.

I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that - I really do, because it's the latest and it's the newest and it's a little bit better.

I mean I think that Blondie's influence is a little bit in a way more eclectic than those bands.

I'm against the idea that rock stars have to live a life that's completely understandable or predictable to their audience....Maybe I'll just be the mysterious figure that'll never be able to truly be defined. Maybe that's what my thing is.

It's scary times for humanity, it seems. But as my octogenarian father tells me, "The world has seen harder times, and the world will survive." The arc of history is long, and the mess we're currently making is just a blip.

For me, performance is about forgetting what I'm wearing. Just putting it on and knowing it's right.
