I don't really think about what the subject of my next album will be. I just know that I'm going to make another album.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.

Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.

Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat.

But I'm also talented and I know when I created something great and Perfect Night is something great, no doubt, no but.

I think God has a plan for me, but I don't think it's in this life.

Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.

Now they're getting so politically correct you can't even stick your tongue out at somebody.
