I wanted to follow the path of music and feel that power, and I couldn't turn back.

My dream is to do exactly what I'm doing. I love writing and directing, and being somebody that can write about an artist I love or make a film about it. That's great. I would leave the other stuff to those who do it much better.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

Optimism is a revolutionary act

I remember that, before John Lennon died, everyone was saying that Rolling Stone couldn't do good reporting anymore. But when he died, they wrote this amazing issue, as they should have about Lennon. They did that when Elvis died, too.

You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone. Cause without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.

And I liked that whole idea that energy comes from not disseminating your ideas and talking about them.
