I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room.

In England especially, I've found that if you bring up King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson at a dinner party or a social gathering, it's like throwing a Molotov cocktail into the room.

I'm always looking for something new: a new inspiration, a new philosophy, a new way to look at something, new talent.

I think it's fun to get in a room and sweat with people. I'm happy to share my workouts with everyone.

When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there.

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.
