I exist in a state of almost perpetual hysteria.

My friends are Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and we're singing about mortality, getting older. It's an interesting time.

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'm very much afraid of being mad - that's my one fear.

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

If you really want to define civilization it should be a culture that doesn't destroy its environment. If you burn down the kitchen one day and expect to eat the next, it is not even intelligent, let alone civilized.

If manners maketh the man as someone said, then he's the hero of the day.
