When I wrote 'Marvin Gaye,' my whole intention was to make a record that people would put on a record player... and just instantly make out with each other.
I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.
That the powers of labour, and of the other instruments which produce wealth, may be indefinitely increased by using their products as the means of further production.
If you're playing any real person, live or dead, you certainly have a responsibility to produce that reputation in some way.
For the producers, there was no reason to produce. You get money, but you couldn't use this money. For consumers, you could have money, but you have no way to use it because you go to the shop and see nothing.

It's true I'm more widely recognised now and get invited to take part in all sorts of events and projects but as a person, I haven't changed.
