Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.

I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in "Body Shop"] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.

The beast is the modern world that we live in! The material world. The physical world. The world of illusion that we think is real. We live for it; we're enslaved by it. And it will ultimately be our undoing.

RIP George Michael. I can't believe it. Such an incredible singer and a lovely human being, far too young to leave us.

I used to believe in the pretty pictures that were all around me, but now I know for sure that I was stupid.

It's weird juggling children in a rhinestone outfit.

I think everybody has a bisexual nature. That's my theory. I could be wrong.
