Here was long period on my life when I was very disappointed by the fact I wasn't gay. Because I grew up going to gay clubs, living in New York and LA, both very gay cities.

I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.

A lot of times good, pristine recordings prevent the listener from getting emotionally involved in the music.

I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines.

I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.

Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.

The term 'renaissance man' is always bandied about. I don't think that applies to me. You think about Leonardo da Vinci, and he was a painter and a physicist and an architect, and that is a true renaissance man.
