I've been an animal rights activist and a vegan for 28 years. The entire time, I've asked myself: How do I best advance an animal rights agenda?

Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.

The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.

Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.

I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'

There's a fairly extensive network of musicians on tour who are all trying to stay sober, and we generally reach out to each other and offer support when and where we can.
