I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead.

I don't make records that way, where I'm trying to please the marketplace or anything. Not because I have anything against that, it's just never been a part of my aesthetic, even when I was with the Pixies.

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.

I've got a small, loyal audience, which is great. And I appreciate that. They're there for me every time.

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.

I like visual images and there are certainly other bands that have strong visual images going all the way back to Elvis Presley, but it's kind of like that's never really been my bag. Probably because I'm too shy.
