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 like situations that force me to rethink things.

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!!!

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

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

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

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