Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but thats not reality, its just another aesthetic form of fiction.

I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist. If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.

I actually didn't find out about a lot of music until I was older. Some people have been listening to the Beatles their whole lives; I didn't discover them until I was 18 years old.

The art model of problem solving is incredibly efficient because ideology has no place there.There's only the thing and what the thing needs to be.

I grew up mostly in the South, and there's definitely something about the South that's different from the North. When people ask me where I'm from, I say Louisiana. I spent more years there than anywhere else.

I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.

"A meteor hits planet Earth" - that's a story idea but that doesn't give me any indication of what the character is.
