My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.

I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.

My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.

Not many people care what you do. They care about what you do as much as you care about what they do. Think about it. Just exactly that much. You are not the center of the universe.

You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself And there's one in each of your eyes. And they're doin' everything I do. Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs. I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too. It's drivin' me crazy. It's drivin' me nuts.
