If a musician is making a mediocre, self-indulgent body of work, they have to know that, for the most part, people aren't going to be interested.

I can't think of any musician or producer who has influenced me more than Brian Eno. From when he was in Roxy Music, producing Devo, the Talking Heads and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

It's better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad one.

For my most of my career I've been a falling-down drunk. Most of my interviews were done hungover, and for a while it was great.

When 'Play' first came out, journalists didn't review it; it didn't get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.

People who meditate and have a good spiritual practice, their immune systems are stronger. Generally, they are happier and healthier.

I'm pretty much a realist. There's a certain age you get to when you're not really going to be shown anymore.
