I always want to do music that inspires or influences another generation. You want what you create to live, be it sculpture or painting or music. Like Michelangelo, he said, “I know the creator will go, but his work survives. That is why to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work.

When I look into the eyes of my Prince, and my daughter Paris, I see miracles and I see beauty.

Needless to say, I love the interaction between the sexes; it is a natural part of life and I love women. I just think that when sex is used as a form of blackmail or power, it's a repugnant use of one of God's gifts.

The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.

My mother's wonderful. To me she's perfection.

You want what you create to live, and I give my all in my work because I want it to live.

I love fairytales. I like fantasy a lot, science fiction, I like magic. I like to create magic. I love magic.
