Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.

Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, "Let's Dance." That's me in the American.

People look to me to see what the spirit of the Seventies is.

I think music should be tarted up, made into a prostitute, a parody of itself. It should be the clown, the Pierrot medium.

I turned myself to face me, but I've never caught a glimpse of how the others must see the faker.

In order to look special wearing the chancy unique; it must be worn with your persona, and if the two don't blend, then the look becomes pear-shaped.

I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
