There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.

A lot of people think I'm a comedian.

When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, 'God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!'

Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.

I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
