I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.

My toes are all squished. During an operation, they had to take nerves out.

Love may be the best driving wheel, but anger is a pretty good second.

I remember the first guy who offered me a joint in the bathroom. I said 'No, man, I've got enough problems.'

Maybe life is random, but I doubt it.

In America there's a tendency to write the same book over and over because that's what sells. So in a way, my success in America has come at the expense of what I do. I haven't sold out, and I haven't taken the popular road to writing a best-selling book. I've really bucked the system. So it was necessary for me not to go and find the easy fans, the ones who want something digestible and fast with a happy ending that they can read over and over again no matter how many different books it is. I had to find fans who really wanted to think. Worldwide they all have that in common.

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.
