You can't take anything with you. So I don't understand this whole psychotic area of greed, I don't get it.

My work throughout my life is always representative of the time we live in. It's all about keeping it in order and keeping it in gear.

Alternative spaces, independent media, satellite, these all provide some tools by which we can work more independently and deal more directly with communities we hope to reach. Distribution is key, and finding alternative ways to do that with new media is critical.

I always remain optimistic.

I've signed with major labels, and I haven't had any control over the money.

When somebody greedily comes along and thinks that they gonna snatch everything, and you have so many people that have not, the passion that drives me is trying to make them understand that they have to share. So, my art reflects that; the whole reason I do what I do reflects that.
