I ain't ever satisfied.

You make decisions, and that's what separates art from some other pop music. It doesn't mean that you can't make an embarrassing amount of money, for a borderline Marxist, doing something that you love, but it does mean that this huge pool of money that was out there when I started making records in the '80s is gone.

Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you've got a record out there and that you're still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn't exist anymore.

My audience doesn't agree with me on everything, but I love my audience, because they're totally okay with us having a dialogue.

My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.

I love baseball. I'll probably end up one of those old farts who go to spring training in Florida every year and drive from game to game all day.

Records are only one-dimensional. Even film is only one-dimensional. That's why music and live theatre is so important, because it's not the same thing. A recording is just a record of part of the experience, but it's not the whole experience.
