I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic

If you're being ignored, that's a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery.

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.

I am such a complex person. I have so many different layers of my personality to choose from. I am super-sensitive, and I am super-strong.

I would want to create an amphitheater outside of California where I would play everyday, and then people would have to come to me. I would create all this crazy stage decor and film it. Or I would just stay inside my home and do films. I would be like the modern Maya Deren.
