The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy.

When I felt that fame - people were nosing me out - well, I moved on. I used traveling names; wigs if necessary.

A few drinks later you're not so choosy when the closing lights strip off the shadows on this strange new flesh you've found.

Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.

Lazy reviewers look up other people's reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap.

I'm not a kiss-and-teller. I never named names.

The bands and the roadies, love 'em and leave 'em. It's pleasure to try 'em, but trouble to keep 'em.
