Architecture theory is very interesting. |
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on? |
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove. |
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass. |
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it. |
I'd like to be known for more than being the guy in the big suit. |
All you needed was a couple of instruments and a few chords and you could be on an indie label. |
Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter. |
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that. |
I'm guarded; I don't talk much. |
I'm afraid that reason will triumph and that the world will become a place where anyone who doesn't fit that will become unnecessary. |
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence. |
I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching. |

It's not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix. |
I wanted to be a secret agent and an astronaut, preferably at the same time. |
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots. |
That's the thing about pictures: they seduce you. |
The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray. |
I've been in beautiful landscapes where one is tempted to whip out a camera and take a picture. I've learned to resist that. |
