I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.

I mean, the way I'm talking, it sounds like I'm - you know, I'm about to go out and sign up for the nearest seminary, and you'll never see or hear from me again. But it's a hard thing to talk about really 'cause I'm not at all sure myself about it. But I've got a very, very simple sort of outlook to it. Yeah, that's all I can say, really.

In the '70s, you had to come up with an album every year whether you were ready or not.

The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Later in life, suddenly, if you're an outsider, it's something to be celebrated, I think, rather than getting on people's nerves.

The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.

A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.
