I think when people try to use their art for political views, I think they're art becomes smaller, less interesting. And so for me, as an artist, I'm trying to speak about things in a universal way and not be pedantic or small-minded and try to convince other people of my political views. But having said that, every day I live in sort of complete terror because of what I read in the newspaper and what is going on in the world. I'm constantly, as I think many of us are, overwhelmed by the sort of, mass psychosis that's occurring.

Growing up, I fantasized about being a rock musician and that somehow it would be really easy. I didn't realize that it's so much work.

I was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.

If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.

Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane.

They say rock is dead. Andy [Warhol] said art is dead. God is dead according to Nietzsche. If everything's dead what's alive? Only technology. We're in the era of technology.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
