Someday, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter; Someday, I'm gonna get that faculty together.

I'm not actually a very keen performer. I like putting shows together. I like putting events together.

I'm not at ease with the word "love."

And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through.

You write down a paragraph or two describing several different subjects creating a kind of story ingredients-list, I suppose, and then cut the sentences into four or five-word sections; mix em up and reconnect them. You can get some pretty interesting idea combinations like this. You can use them as is or, if you have a craven need to not lose control, bounce off these ideas and write whole new sections.

The only time that I've adopted characterization again since that point, for my own albums, has been an album called "Outside" that I did with Brian Eno.

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.
