To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.

I've rarely kept my distance from kind of - I don't know if we can call it politics, but kind of, civic engagement and that kind of thing, except I tended to think, 'Well, do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.'

On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.

Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.

You may say to yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"

I'm just wearing regular street clothes. Pretty much all the time. In the summertime, or when it gets warm out, shorts and sandals or something like that. Stuff that I don't mind getting a little sweaty.

It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
