1 Age

  • 1. Well once you've resigned yourself to the fact that you are the more mature pop performer and you're past the age you ever thought you would do it you might as well do it as long as you can. As long as I can still lift a microphone then I'll do it you know.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.
  • 2. I like things that are kind of eclectic when one thing doesn't go with another. That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It's where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That's my style and that's what my work is about.
  • 3. I love a lot of things and I'm pretty much obsessive about most things I do whether it be gardening or architecture or music. I'd be an obsessive hairdresser.
