It's not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix.

I'm drawn to the stuff that's maybe a little bit on the fringe. Part of that is just practical sometimes. We can't compete with the major labels for some acts, so you figure, "Okay, what could I introduce to people, or what do I like that is within my means?"

My personal feeling is that human beings have this incredible capacity for denial.

The two biggest self-deceptions of all are that life has a 'meaning'and each of us is unique.

I love getting out of my comfort zone.

I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it

There was an op-ed piece in The New York Times by an evolutionary biologist or somebody - which was a curious place for the opinion to come from - and he said that there's no such thing as a completely free, uncensored medium, that people censor themselves all the time, in deference to hurting other people's feelings, or offending other groups, or in their own, not to provoke a fight. And you do self-censor certain things, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. That's just the way human social interaction works.
