I can understand that the whole world is interested in my wife [Madonna]. That's even why I married her.

We are not that flash, me or the missus [Madonna]. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film.

The idea was that the wife and I would make some sassy little art movie together that would come out and be wonderfully received. I took a punt and got a kicking for it. I've got to say, I think it's a good film and I'm scratching my head about what went wrong.

Other than the fact that I like a country house, I can't think of anything I'd want to spend my money on.

I like death. I'm a big fan of it.
