I was a kid, and I was very excited to experience this whole new world. And everything was fun, everything from, oh, wow, we get bananas - I'd only seen them in picture books, you know - to, like, the diversity of the neighborhood and to explore Judaism for the first time. It was really hushed in the Soviet Union.

Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk

Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water

This is the way I want to die. Torn apart by angry fans who want me to play a different song.

I think to me, all songs are stories.

Maybe I am skipping over the city and going from very personal things to the world, from internal experience to giant, far-away-from-space experience.

Its not like I have all the answers.
