I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (on how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24"-that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one-it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot.

I’m not anything that you think I am.

I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time.

I don't feel active, and that my public conscience is fully satisfied.

That's all I wanted to do as a kid. Play a guitar properly and jump around. But too many people got in the way.

I like songs that are simple.

I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.
