I wanted to modernize music, but more than that, to completely modernize people's attitudes towards life in general.

More people are troubled by what is plain in Scripture than by what is obscure.

Every song has a bouquet, which is the music. If you can put words with something that is really apt, then you've done it.

If humanity was still in the feral state, we wouldn't have any need for these huge conurbations that we have now, that have turned us into a different bunch all together. In the feral state we would be much more secure, much more familiar with each other, much more mentally well-balanced.

In cities, people go to work and all walk there together, like some arterial flow. And there's a certain desolation about it, an alienation that we all experience.

There's more to life than listening to rock music.
