I'm sort of a gay man trapped in a woman's body when it comes to music sometimes - it's crowded in here!

I don't know anything about the history of music.

I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

I'm 39, and I would like to be able to make great pop music for another 20 years. And it feels like creating a sort of inanimate blond bob and allowing other people to play the role of the pop singer, it affords me a little bit more freedom in terms of my expiration date.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.
