When you do controversial work, you're going to upset a certain amount of people.

One thing I like about getting older is things, your spectrum widens, your capacity for compassion widens.

First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.

My style of performance poetry came from the beatniks, Allen Ginsberg.

I always wrote like rock 'n' roll. And I always listen to rock 'n' roll as poetry.

I am not really certain how original my contribution to music is as I am obviously an amateur.

I'm an artist. I'm interested in how art gets made.
