No one expected me. Everything awaited me.

I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.

I'm certain, as we filled down the great staircase, that I appeared the same as ever, a moping twelve years-old, all arms and legs. But secretly I knew I had been transformed, moved by the revelation that human beings create art, that to be an artist was to see what others could not.

I just know that young people suffer, and I also know music is one of the things that help you get through - music and friends.

The way our big cities change sucks. The beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. Artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. Not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. Big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. For me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.

I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.

I think its very important that we enjoy our life, that we get everything we can out of it.
