Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present.
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.
I think you have to satisfy yourself first and foremost. There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them. If you're making music, you must want to turn other people on to it, whether you're number one in the charts or number 60. I don't know, that's a commercial thing, but just the fact that other people like you. . . there's no point in making music, otherwise. Otherwise you might as well make it in your bedroom and leave it there.
An artist or writer always has to move forward. All the time you're trying to improve yourself, or at least look at ways to improve things or make things better. I'm not really one to harp on previous records. I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.

Were there no uniforms, there would probably be no armies.
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
