 Gwen Stefani the sexiest female artist
I've ever worked with? You ever seen Gwen Stefani close up?
Because
we've done so much production for other people, to be able to come out
on our label for us is a great give back.
I
don't know, the artist thing is not me.
I
just do what I do. It's not something that should be revered as
something that's great.
Music.
There's always something more to discover. Sex is good, but I can't do
it all day, although I'd love to. Music has always been the only thing
for me that has outdone its own euphoria time and time again. Also, the
one thing I can't stand is drama -- I hate anything that anybody just
wants to fuss and fight over all the time. I'm just looking for the
right girl. I'm looking for my Yoko Ono.
I
just happen to admire everyone that we work with.
It's
a feeling. You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords
that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard. So when I'm
playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
I've
had some one-night stands, but for the most part I'm turned on by the
way women think and the shit that they say. When you don't really know a
girl like that, it don't really click -- I mean, it can happen, but I
like girls that I know.
I
look up to Puff and I definitely look up to Lenny too... it's just like,
two people, the best of both worlds.
I
love making music, though. I love playing.
I
love what I do, I love my job.
In a room with eight girls in Miami a year ago. I had sex with two of them -- you can't
do eight girls! I mean, not without Viagra -- I'd have a sore d**k for a week. And the rest of them was just good to watch. They were all involved -- I was the audience for them. They didn't take a break.
I
think all music is a gift from God.
Lenny
runs the rock world.
So
when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
That
was for a video, but the video to me is like the second part of the song
because it is the interpretation given in a visual perspective.
And
when you know it's done, you know it's done. It's like painting or
sculpting. When you let it go it's because you know that it's finished.
It's completed. And vice versa-it tells you, "Hey, I'm not
done."
The
keyboard is my journal.
I'm
not a big porn guy. But I'll watch it with some girls and, ya know.
Eyes
and smile. What is big titties and a fat ass if her face looks like a
fucking monster?
Absolutely.
God gave us that gift when he gave us the gift of interpretation. I
mean, when you write your lyrics, you're writing to someone, or to the
world. When you're playing, you're playing something for the world to
hear. When you're dancing, you're dancing for people to see. It's just a
form of expression.
And
then there are times when you might be a little more introverted about
it, when you're dancing, writing, or playing for yourself, and you have
no idea how amazing what you're doing looks, sounds, or feels, until
somebody else tells you, or until you record it and go back and look at
it.
The
sexiest woman musician is Alicia
Keys.
There's
no better feeling than just going in and just working with someone and
what comes out is something that the world knows about.
When
you're dancing, you're dancing for people to see.
Well,
personally, I kind of feel like I'm taking notes from people like
yourself and Stevie [Wonder] and Donny [Hathaway], and just sort of
doing what feels right.
When
you're playing, you're playing something for the world to hear.
You
get used to it when you feel like you're an artist.
You
treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through
your fingers, out of the keyboard.
You
know what? I did an interview the other day to present a video, and I
was afraid to let it go. That was for a video, but the video to me is
like the second part of the song because it is the interpretation given
in a visual perspective. So, yes, I completely feel that way.
And
it's like sometimes if you play something to people and they don't get
it, it's kind of like your child who's done something and everyone is
pointing fingers and you're like, 'Wait! This is my kid!" Now, I'm
not a father, but I imagine that's the way it would be--at least that's
how I feel about my songs.
