I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?

I don't like begging money from producers.

With music, you often don't have to translate it. It just affects you, and you don't know why.

The arts don't exist in isolation.

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

Yeah, it's pretty hard not to be completely cynical these days.
