You have to reinvent to stay fresh, to stay in the game

I became an overachiever to get approval from the world.

Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.

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.

I think that its an artist's responsibility to have a point of view. Society takes its cue from popular art. People need something to look to, something to provoke them into questioning whether they completely hate something or completely love something.

I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.

Everyone who knows me thinks I'm a bit of a work Nazi.
