I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid - like, Oh my god, there's this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.

I look suspicious if I dress in sort of benign clothes, going to the airport.

I was just very into things that were the opposite of what other people liked. I didn't want to listen to music that I could find at a friend's house. My identity was really forged around that, and you know, eventually that kind of identity gets dismantled and fed to the vultures. But I was somehow on my own mission.

I procrastinate, and I push writing to the last available moment, because I don't like to settle on anything. I guess you can call it indecision or you can call it holding out for inspiration.

I envisioned all these people who had been admired for having been freaks in their own time, and I saw myself in line with them.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.
