Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.

Music is like my security blanket.

Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.

It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.

Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky

It's always good to do something that is not a repeat. I just don't believe in repeating.

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.
