Freedom is...the right to write the wrong words.

I'm not really a nostalgic person.

I didn't begin my life in 1975 with 'Horses.' I recorded 'Horses' in 1975, but was drawing in Paris in 1969.

I was so used to doing art that my fingers were like albino spiders. So it was just natural for me to go to a typewriter and write poetry.

Art is by nature optimistic. Art is optimistic because it is alive.

I was horny, but I was innocent 'cause I was a real-late bloomer and not particularly attractive. In fact, homely.

I was quite an insomniac. I rarely slept as a child. Having God to talk to at night was nice.
