I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.

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'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I always stayed fit because I'm a performer, and all of those things help me to perform.

There is no monopoly on common sense on either side of the political fence.

For to sit in a room full of books, and remember the stories they told you, and to know precisely where each one is located and what was happening in your life at time or where you were when you first read it is the languid and distilled pleasure of the connoisseur.
