I said that as a joke on the podcast, I said, 'oh I've signed all these NDAs', and then it started getting reported as a serious thing in America. I didn't say cut that out because I thought it was so obviously a joke.

I said to Taylor at the time, often in your 60s you begin to give up on your dream of appearing in a major pop video, but it happened, and thank you very much, Taylor Swift.

When I look back and I think of some of the things I did when we started, I'd be running around the audience with a microphone getting people to tell me their sex stories, confessing about sex toys and things. I was 30-something then, now I'm 60-something, if I was doing that, it would just be creepy.
