(Interview with The Guardian, 2013)
Oh my god.
I just can't keep up with the affection
loaded with irony.
I'm at this point where I don't want to act.
It's about trying to be a naked,
marvelous, magnificent classical composer.
Extremely modest.
I was this little projector—
play it in the house.
All watch and have nightmares.
Refuse to go on any kind of medication.
I was the lesser celebrity?
Well, celebrity is a creative expression.
I got caught up in that bubble that exploded.
I thought it was real. I believed in all that magic.
I was still trying to live in a big splash with Cher.
Some folks in the media think that we're not in on the joke.
I love it.
I’m a Doberman; let the dog work—
I can't get used up.
I am open to the world.
