If someone teaches you alignment and - I'm not a tai chi expert by any stretch - so interviewing me about tai chi is kind of the cart before the horse - but just from my point of view as a student, it's simply that Master Ren can show you the relationship of power, stance and form.

I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.

How could you even dream or think something of someone who is as uncommercial as I am?

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.

It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
