Quotes
Of course we slept with the models in our videos. So did the managers, so did the director. Everybody sleeps with everybody in this game.

And in the long run I believe they're also diluting the magical power and the magnetic attraction that they can or will ever have over their audience.
I hated being a teenager, until I discovered just how powerful the world of popular music was. It helped me find an identity and find myself. Not just the notes and beats, but the icons and the haircuts and the clothes and the liner notes. Music saved me in a way, or at least it gave me a sense of direction of how life could be.
