A girl offered me E at the club. 'Have you ever done E?' 'I watch E.'

Backup dancers are completely respectable. They're the studio musicians of dance.

People getting along doesn't sell very well in the news. I find that to be deeply depressing. I don't even talk about it on stage, because it would take too long to explain.

Everyone tries to get you to dance at clubs. They come up to you and say "You gotta dance! you gotta dance!" And then I dance, and they're like, "Not like that!"
