The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.

Me, as a human, I never want to take away another human being's choices or lifestyles or anything.

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!

Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated.
