Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

I have things that I'm interested in, and I'm not really interested in writing about anything that I'm not interested in. But it's important to me to be able to see it from a different perspective, and add something new to the whole picture.

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?

Most screen violence is tedious.

I have an armchair interest in gardening, but I don't like to get my knees dirty. I don't have a garden.

The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.
