I just put drugs down to luck. I persevere quite honestly, and I've got a fair amount of discipline that keeps me out of deep water.

I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

On "Tonight" I think I was torn dreadfully between writing what I wanted to write, but keeping it in a style that would follow up what I had just done. That's where I feel I was untrue to myself as an artist . . . that album and, to a lesser extent, "Never Let Me Down."

And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.

I made a more mature approach to industrial music.

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