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.

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.

Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.

My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher, thinking how it wouldn't work.

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

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

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.
