I like revisiting my early work, and people like to hear it. I don't make people suffer through any experimentation or new material. When I go see an artist, I want to hear the songs that drew me to them, so I do the same.

I like Cronenberg's early work; his '80s films had all these weird, amorphous flesh objects in them.

I don't believe any artist who says, 'I had to do that because DJs will tell me I can't play that music. I will lose my job.' Well, lose the job and create a new job. If your label won't let you have the cover you want or sing the songs you want, then leave!

People have the power to redeem the work of fools.

I work to Glenn Gould in the morning and go to sleep listening to Parsifal.

Vassar Clements was a special artist and notable among the early pioneers as well as for his remarkable work in recent years.
