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.

The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body; it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much; I look at it as a tool.

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.

I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.

To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.

I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination.
