Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.

Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together.

I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.

I'm rather kind of old school, thinking that when an artist does his work it's no longer his.

When I was 9 years old, I wanted to be the baritone sax player in the Little Richard band.
