I still can't spend a lot of money on records at collector prices. There's something in me that just won't allow me to do that. But I will trade my artwork, which I know is worth thousands of dollars.

Yeah, I was a child of American popular culture.

I'm just a negative person, a deeply negative person. I see the worst aspects of everything.
