I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead.

If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.

I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.

I try to give the media as many confusing images as I can to retain my freedom. What's real is for my children and the people I live with.

I went off to fight some battle that I'd invented inside me.

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.

If you play music with passion and love and honesty, then it will nourish your soul, heal your wounds and make your life worth living. Music is its own reward.
