I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.

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

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

I feel it's so important to have strong women around you.

Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.

Los Angeles is such a mysterious place because there's so much evil in that city, but there's also so much light. You can be totally alone on a hillside and I love that kind of secluded, deserted rawness.

I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.
