Quotes :
I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, 'Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.
I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.
I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.
I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
