These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.

I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.

People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.

I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"
