There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.

I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood, just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets.

When I saw that combination of grace and power, the fast and the soft, the yin and the yang, that's what I'd been looking for.

When I was in college, I had a jazz radio show. I called it 'Excursion on a Wobbly Rail,' after a Cecil Taylor song. I used to run around the Village following Ornette Coleman wherever he played.

I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.

Music is an amazing thing. I don't know if we really think about it the same way we consider a painting an amazing thing. I mean, a painting is, in quotes, imaginary. There is nothing on the canvas when you start; and writing a song, there is nothing there when you start.

I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine.
