I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads.

In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it. When it comes to rock and roll, when it comes to any kind of industry, it's not there. It's not there. So it's a battle between the two. Music, Industry.

I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.

Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.

You have to leave room for the other person's ego.

I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all.

I've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.
