My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.

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

I don't like talk and I don't like talkers. Like Ma Barker. That's what she always said, 'Ma Barker doesn't like talk and she doesn't like talkers.' She just sat there with her gun.

Touring with Iggy Pop was something to do. It was good fun. I got drunk a lot.

People are always throwing things at me that I've said and I say that I didn't mean anything.

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.

I could never have done what I did without being involved with Lindsay Kemp's company.
