· 3 pulledI walked out on Madonna. I just couldn't take it anymore. It was one of those moments where you realize that sometimes the chemistry just isn't right.
Meeting David Bowie was like meeting a kindred spirit. We just clicked immediately, and 'Let's Dance' came together so naturally.
I've been lucky enough to work with geniuses, and the common thread is that they all have an incredible work ethic and a vision that they're willing to fight for.
