Working with David Bowie was very interesting, but I couldn't surrender to it. I should have let him produce a record for me, but I'm very perverse in some ways. He's brilliant, but the entourage were rather daunting.

The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa.

Somebody like Bowie was so interesting because when you got him off stage, he was like a businessman. But on stage, he was just dazzling. It was like watching butterflies grow.

How I love David Bowie.

David Bowie is such a big influence to me. Everything about him as a person is intriguing to me.

Bowie's obviously my biggest influence.

Bowie's been a huge influence on me.

David Bowie worked with Brian Eno and dressed up in extraordinary clothes, but he was also a brilliant songwriter who captured the thoughts of a generation. He was hugely successful, without compromise.

Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.'

I was obsessed with David Bowie - still am. He's a babe, a total babe. His music is killer; his visuals are beautiful.
