If I have more creativity that I want to get out of me, I try to find other ways than pursuing solo records so much.

Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought.

There's more to life than listening to rock music.

As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn't have a day job.

My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn't how people are going to receive them, because they don't know the code.

When we've got something to say to the world, we will. I'm really happy that people are interested. "So, what's up with the Pixies record? So, what's up with the Pixies record?" One guy just kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, "I just got done telling you no, there's nothing to report."

As I paint, I realise, while it's something I do very much by myself, it's very solitary, the creative process feels similar to making music to me now, at least as far as my brain is concerned.
