Music should come crashing out of your speakers and grab you, and the lyrics should challenge whatever preconceived notions that listener has.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.

Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.

I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.

Herpes, AIDS, the Middle East at full throttle. Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle.

I can concentrate on my art.
