I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.

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'm against the idea that rock stars have to live a life that's completely understandable or predictable to their audience....Maybe I'll just be the mysterious figure that'll never be able to truly be defined. Maybe that's what my thing is.

Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it.

We probably, as primitive people, made music before we actually had a language, and that's where language comes from.

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