Writhe and sway to music's pain searing with asides, caress death with a lover's touch for it shall be your bride.

Here comes Jesse Jackson, he talks of common ground. Does that common ground include me, or is it just a sound?

I mean, there are peripheral things I do, I do photography, I write plays, I have books published, but that's neither here not there.

The most important thing is work.

But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.

Looking through the viewfinder for me is like being in a movie theater. That's what I like about it.

But it's the things that preceded it that made that happen, and of course now someone like me thinks, well, if I can do that... then there are a lot of other things that are possible.
