The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

Obviously, they're all a gang of idiots. But, you know... live and let live.

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
