Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

So much is filtered by pop music today, because the music industry is driven by single, single, single, single, the next single, not the nurturing of artists and that kind of thing.

I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.

In the past we used to come over to see what was going on in London or Paris or Milan or wherever - it's pretty much the same stuff everywhere [now], and people are wearing the same things, because it's all instantaneous with the Internet.

I'm so lucky, I'm just really grateful for what I've got around me - children and my wife and everything else.

I think if you're a creative person, then you're always kinda looking to move things along - 'Where else can I go? Where can I take this?' From painters to photographers - anything creative in the arts - if you're a true artist, I think you'll always look to do something else. 'Where else can I go with it?' Do you know what I mean?

I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.
