Pharrell talks with The Associated Press:

Q: You're still doing your clothing line, Billionaire Boys Club, and your Ice Cream shoe line. Do you have new designs for either in the works?

A: We do new designs every quarter. Ice Cream is expanding. We're developing a TV show around it, actually. I can't speak about it too much because we haven't begun shooting yet, and they would kill me if they knew I was letting the cat out of the bag.

Q: Billionaire Boys Club is known as a luxury brand. How's it holding up in the recession?

A: Billionaire Boys Club is a lifestyle brand. Ice Cream is a little more affordable, but BBC is different. I created that brand because I had a lot of admiration for Ralph Lauren but I wanted to take that concept and pretend that Willy Wonka was the head designer. So it's different, and the clothes are made in Japan, so there's a price that goes along with that. Ice Cream, on the other hand, is like our silliness mixed with a huge, huge respect for skating and how I saw things when I was a kid. It's kind of like me making the clothes I never got to have when I was 15.

Q: What music projects are you working on now?

A: I'm finishing up with Shakira's new album. I'm in the studio with Usher, I'm going in with Rihanna, I'm going in with Incubus and then with Sara Bareilles.
