When public figures think they can open a business even though they've got no business experience, it's a bad idea.

My biggest concern is trying to keep crazy Republicans out of office.

If you look at the history of demagoguery and fascism, it always happens when there are two things. It requires a gentle populace to allow it to happen, whether through laziness, ignorance or ineptitude, but it also requires a very angry, dissatisfied section of the populace who want egregiously simple answers to very complicated problems.

That is not all I need. I need dogs. A house filled with dogs and a smart, funny, kind, loving girlfriend or wife.

I've worked with all sorts of random people - everybody from Metallica to Britney Spears to Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson to the Beastie Boys. I've got a really strange CV. It's interesting - I work with a lot of these disparate, different people to learn what it's like to work with random people.

There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.

I feel like people might be slightly less inclined to hate me as much as they did in the past, and I think part of that is selling fewer records.
