We always try to encourage more songs sung by Kim, because there are always requests for it. I certainly don't want to ball hog all the singing.

Tonight I am going to defecate on stage because I think that is the only way to express the nature of my soul according to rock and roll.

I never go back and listen to the recorded document. The thrill comes when the balance can be attained. Everyone in the room can have a shared, communal rock experience.

I wanted to hear the songs in the way that I had written them, which was, in a way, very basic. So all I wanted to have was drums and another guitar pretty much playing what I wrote on guitar, and I was just going to sing.

Every now and again, the alternative culture is cherished by the mainstream for what it is, rather than how it should be, like the mainstream popular music.

I really want to do a book on the history of the no-wave music scene in New York, how it extended out and formed lots of other things. It was such a great visual culture.

I never do releases to try and make or break some contemporary band.
