I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

What do you do with a lifetime of work? Face it in the morning.

The people who were learning from me tended to be more commercial performers who were gonna rip off the salient idea to do it in a way that will sell, but they weren't going for the music.

When I get up in the morning, I stay nude for three or four hours. If I really feel like getting formal, I'll put on board shorts.

If you give a good performance, something that gets some feeling across to people, that’s such a rare gift. It’s underestimated at this point in history, when the music biz is inevitably turning into a kind of politics.

It is very important what not to do.

I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that's a cliche.
