My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

We live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human. That we can be exempt from the human condition, either through intelligence or accomplishment or success or humor. Bu biologically we’re all the same. We all get sad, we all get happy, and we all die. Anyone who pretends that that’s not the case is either a sociopath or utterly delusional.

My interest in gospel music and liturgical art and Biblically-inspired literature has nothing to do with organised religion and everything to do with human beings trying to figure out their place on this planet.

I was on food stamps until I was 18 and became an adult.

I think it'd be great if Prince made an album of just romantic, slow ballads.

There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.

I'd much rather go to a Banksy art show than a Moby art show. My art is painfully naive.
