Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.

I cling to my memories of glorious desperation.

The idea that any performer type is owed anything is a joke to me.

When the movie comes out, what anybody thinks of it doesn't really matter to me. I don't go to the wrap party. I don't go to the premiere.

I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like; same thing in Iran.

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

To burn a CDR of music you like to give as a gift to someone you wish to become closer to is a cold, moist-palmed, mouth-breathing bummer.
