"People say, 'Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?' I'm like, 'Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I've never gotten to do that before.'"
So said Robin Thicke in an interview with GQ earlier this year, discussing the video for Blurred Lines. The man seems unable to speak to a journalist without making himself look a wally. His latest interview with Elle magazine contains several nuggets of prime Thicke awfulness. Here's a few of our favourites and you can read the interview in full here.
Robin Thicke on the human form
"In our household, nudity is not frowned upon."
There's the implied threat here that if you went round the Thicke's house for tea, you'd almost certainly come eye to eye with Robin's penis. Let's all think about that for a bit.
Robin Thicke on penis-size
"Compared to my son, I'm packing"
That's it, we're definitely never going round there for tea.
Robin Thicke on his father
"My dad was single my whole pubescent period. He had Ms. Alabama, Ms Dominican Republic every week. I was like, Dang, Pops."
My dad quite liked watching Neighbours. I wasn't ever really like, Dang, Pops.
Robin Thicke on romance
"I like to take her out to a fancy, six-course meal that lasts three hours and stare into her eyes."
Indeed, there's nothing more romantic than being stared at while you eat ideally for three hours.
Robin Thicke on love
"My gift and my curse is that I really want to be loved. What drives me to make music is love whether it's shallow or deep or whatever."
It's the final "whatever" that really elevates this to poetry.
Robin Thicke on compliments
"If someone's got a great outfit on, it's like, 'Oh, you're big-dick swingin' tonight.'"
Top tip: don't ever say this to someone.
Robin Thicke on listening to his own music during sex
"(My wife) likes to do it more than ever now. Sometimes she'll even play groupie for me."
And she's surely thrilled for that information to be released into the public domain.
