And the earth died screaming, while I lay dreaming.

The trick is to have a career and have a family. It's like having two dogs that hate each other and you have to take them for a walk every night.

I do like books on anatomy. I have to say I'm an amateur physician, I guess.

All records are riddles, and whatever you may want people to think it's about, it may just be throwing them off. And you don't want it to get in the way of what someone else's understanding is. It's not really about anything. At the same time, it will find some meaning.

We have a deficit of wonder right now.

That for me is more important than anything when you're in the studio - to have somebody you can trust and who knows you, knows who you are and doesn't let you get away with anything.

My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.
