I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it.

I never wanted to do something grotesque. I never wanted to shock. I wanted my audience to be happy, to be kind.

I didn't have a happy childhood.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.

Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it's almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn't because I was not able to sing; I'm not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It's a nice effect.

I don't think you'll ever be happy about anything unless you've done it.
