...if photos can reproduce the world more perfectly than any painter, can capture an instant, a look, a gesture, then what makes a painting good anymore? Painting subverts this subversion of its traditional nature by redefining itself - art is idea, not simply skillful execution. So, a work can be crudely made, or even machine made - but it has to be practically and functionally useless.

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

I've been in beautiful landscapes where one is tempted to whip out a camera and take a picture. I've learned to resist that.

Another Elvis will not come along. He got wasted, but it's alright.
