Generosity is the key to all relationships. To friendships and bands. That's the golden rule.

I like the idea of Wild Infancy, of people who have a deprived background, of starting out wild.

In Europe they understand that the arts are incredibly important both culturally and economically.

Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.

It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

We had our unhappy moments but they got channelled into the kind of sadness that was necessary for singing a song about going nowhere. So it worked out very well I think.

We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'.
