I was lucky enough to get to perform on stage in front of 20 million people on TV, and 150 thousand in concerts. For 15 minutes I got to be a rock star, the 15 minutes is great! It turns into Spinal Tap after 20 minutes.

To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.

My favorite films, I would put my answering machine up to the television set and hit record. I'd tape my favorite movies and then I could go back and listen to them again. I only had the soundtrack, I didn't have the visuals. But I think it made me really pay attention to the soundtracks.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

I write all the time. I do artwork that's part of a diary, and I write short stories to go with them pretty much every day.

I don't cook - I can cook - but I'm not very good. I like being asked over for dinner, because she can't cook either. We would starve if it weren't for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave, but love home cooked meals.

If you get rid of a lot of the poseurs by destroying record companies, maybe it's a good trade-off.
