I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.

I became very obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life. That would be a motivating force.

I like film soundtracks. I like the soundtracks better than the movies.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I could never work in a recording studio where you have this lovely view and a beach and the waves are crashing. For me, it's all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It's almost like you have to be in a prison. And you can create beauty when you're in that sort of deprived environment, which is a re-creation of your formative years.

There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don't think, Oh God, I'm missing something.

A fire lit under my ass? Yeah, that's true. No time to waste.
