Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar.

The film [Dream of Life] doesn't hide anything, except maybe moments of sorrow or darkness that belonged to me.

Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.

I was so horny in school it felt like my body was filled with electricity. I felt like I had neon bones or something.

The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.

I think its very important to not be afraid to experience joy in the middle of sorrow.

Grief isn't all tears.
