I like tea and yoga, but I don't do yoga.

Drinking tea is as sacred as doing yoga. Sleeping silently, relaxed, is as sacred as prayer. Looking at a tree, talking to a friend, walking early in the morning, working in the factory or in the office, is as holy as anything else. This is the understanding that is needed for Tao to happen.

I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.

Small, bald white guys like myself - we all kind of look the same.

In a perfect world, I would be 6-foot-3 and have a perfect head of hair and look like Orlando Bloom.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.
