I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before.

I'm so proud to be on a Kate Bush record; she's always marched to the beat of her own drum.

To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.

I'm still as fascinated with the music business as ever. I'd love to do an electronic album like Prodigy or Underworld. I really like that sort of music.

I guess that's why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.

People still think of AIDS as a shame-based disease, it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you're either gay or you're a prostitute or an intravenous drug user. And so a lot of people are still very bigoted about this disease. It's such a treatable disease. It's so - the end is in sight for this disease, medically.
