If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.

The people who are making a lot of money and eating at McDonald's and watching MTV and have square eyeballs, they're over there. And then maybe there's like five other people left in America and I'm just waiting for them to come up with something interesting.

I can only cook brown rice and vegetables, so I don't get too many people coming over for dinner parties or anything.

When I was 16, the pot weeded out the men from the boys, there were the heads and the straights. Now it's almost like money can weed it out, you know?

I don't believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.

Music reflects the time that it's being made in, and so certainly, the music that's being made in 1986 by a 14-year-old kid will reflect some magic of 1986 for him if he's an inspired and creative musician.

I don't wish to embarrass anyone.
