I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.

I thought that I could do some kind of vehicle involving rock musicals and presenting rock and characters and storyline in a completely different fashion.

I don't live for the stage. I don't live for an audience.

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.

I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.

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.

The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
