I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.

It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it; they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.

I've been approached many times by many different people, and most people want to do something that I write and produce, and I'm just not into that.

My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.

I had a very important personal point to make with this song [I Want Your Sex]. I just hated the idea that lust and forbidden excitement could only come with sleaze and strangers.

Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.

Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
