I cleaned up my act because otherwise I would have kicked the bucket.

I don't really think about what the subject of my next album will be. I just know that I'm going to make another album.

I was a product of Andy Warhol's Factory. All I did was sit there and observe these incredibly talented and creative people who were continually making art, and it was impossible not to be affected by that.

Valium would have helped that bash.

The music business doesn't interest me anymore.

Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. What I do is about as simple as you can get. You could just count the beads, one, two, three, with your eyes closed or open, whatever makes you happy.

The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
