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.

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

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.

It's just such a pleasure to bring a talent you respect to the world.

Being able to allow people to be who they are without trying to change them is important.
