I've got a quote for you, a good quote to describe Television...In madness there is order.

I don't think Marquee Moon was so good, y'know? Just another record. First records everybody likes a lot.

I really don't have that much interest in stardom.

When I think of 'influence', I think of 'influenza', like somebody's picked up a germ.

I just don't like people coming up to me and saying something. It immediately makes you become insincere. There is no way you can react to it sincerely.

With my records, it's just a matter of trying to create something fresh for myself in a very finite context, which is the pop song. I don't know anything about the people who buy my records, and what, if anything, they get out of them.

You can't get so interested in just making sounds. The point of it all is some kind of expression.
