Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.

I embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.

To try to please people is an endless chasing of one's own tail. That's not very satisfying, so we do what we like and that satisfies us. When it does work out, its a bonus, really.

Keeping perspective and being happy and being energetic and being creative - that's all tied to being healthy.

Life is worth celebrating and worth living even though we're all headed to the same hole at the end of the day.

Advertising agencies come to you and they are great fans, they are great creative people themselves, but they ask you to do something, and you say, "Well, we will, we'll create something together." And it is work. It's like you're doing something and they're saying, "Change this" and "Change that." It's not hard, horrible work, but creatively it's not just freedom.

You want the world to be what you want it to be, and sometimes the world doesn't want that.
