I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder

When we were kids growing up in Liverpool, all we ever wanted to be was Elvis Presley.

All women are created equal. Then, some become marines.

In my eyes, there's no one better than Stevie Wonder. He's a top dude.

I put one on the turntable and when the needle dropped, I was stunned - didn't know if I was stoned or straight... All these songs together, one after another made my head spin. It made me want to gasp. It was like the land parted.

In fact, the Alejandro video...is a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, and their love for one another, their courage in their relationships.
