Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.

Make it, not make it? What's the difference? Music is a language, it's a dance of life, and it can be a part of your life without being something that earns.

I tend to like people that are generous and give other people the benefit of the doubt.

You learn just as much from your failures. Sometimes you love your failures even more.

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

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.
