The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

I take sounds and change them into words.

Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.

Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.

Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.

All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.

All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.
