I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.

As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.

One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.

People always called the Cure gloomy, but listening to the Cure made me happy. There was something about the gloominess that gave me comfort, and I think we're the same way.

When you move artistically, the natural inclination is to denounce everything that's gone before.

The music business - and I guess you could say any artistic endeavor - usually rewards those who are on the leading edge of where everything is going, but you can't be too far.
