I’m working on a new album, and was confined for some time.
So I accepted, and wanted to kind of get out of the house.
I was in, I was down for it, and I had a lot of fun, frankly.
I spend a lot of time with him.
So to break away we have a very good, honest relationship.
I’d rather tell him the truth and say, “Be quiet.”
He didn’t even tell his friends; it was pretty cool.
In one of the clue packages, there were two dogs.
They really ran with the TikTok thing.
My concern was Robin [Thicke], because I knew his dad, may he rest.
I know Robin, I haven’t seen him recently, but my tonality he would pick up on.
I wasn’t really ready to do some unknown sound here.
And we’ve got a lot of diverse material.
So we put her in a studio up in the Santa Barbara area and we just banged it out.
And she did a great job.
She did an amazing job.
And I think that the added unfortunate pressure that we all felt…
I have family in the business and they’ve been shut down, they can’t get away.
We talk all the time, my daughter and him, and they’re all very concerned.
That’s what everyone has been telling me.But you know, I watch the show.
I think some of them want out of there after the first time.
I thinkMickey Rourke wanted out.
You know, that wasn’t my take.
Did I want to last three weeks?
You know, I had the experience.
But other than that, I didn’t have any expectations.
I did the best I could working hard at it, and that was it.
It was pretty cool.
