Like trillions of others, if it wasn't for Bob Dylan, it would have been a different musical landscape. Pop music wouldn't have been my thing at all. I did also grow up listening to The Beatles, but I never thought of being a Beatle.

I'm good at line-drawing, and some of my color stuff is okay. So I just do it for record covers.

One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

I think The Beatles are the lasting influence on me, even more so than Dylan.

People in the future look back on primitive machinery or technology or painting, and in some ways, it always seems amazingly intricate and finely wrought.
