I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.

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

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?

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 love this idea of shape-shifting and changing when you put on clothes, and turn into somebody else.

I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.
