When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there.

People think they will wake up one day and I'll be gone. But I'm never going away.

If you have an opinion and people disagree with you, you might not get a job. You might be blacklisted. You might have fewer followers on Instagram.

[George Michael] is a great songwriter and he makes very classy videos, like me.

I don't know what our government does except put us into debt and blow up other countries.

For me, it's either you're part of creation or you're part of destruction. It's inexplicable; it's like breathing, and I can't imagine not doing it.

I like pushing the envelope. But I don't like to do it just for the sake of doing it.
