It's nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I'm trying to steal from the real people.

I lived in Texas for 10 years. There were a lot of people chewing, including my dad.

Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.

I want people to believe me when I play a part and they are less apt to if they know a lot about me and have associations about me.

I think we're all mysteries to ourselves.

I do not feel an exile from America in any sense.

It's hard to get concert tickets.
