David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.
I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.
Can't do any work with a rock star; you have to go through their lawyers and their agents and their managers and you have to book them hotel rooms. When you work with your friends, you just call them up and they come over and you record and then you go out to see a movie.
I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead.
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
No one drives in Manhattan - in fact, many of the folks who live in Manhattan don't even have driving licenses!
People assume that somehow fame and wealth will keep mortality at bay.
I wasn't raised Catholic; I just really like the image of a neutral and benign Mary floating around somewhere, being nice to people.
I still never get recognized. Small, bald white guys like myself - we all kind of look the same.
Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.
I don't think of myself as a singer; I usually end up singing when I can't find anyone better to sing, or when I'm too lazy to find someone better.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
I'd much rather go to a Banksy art show than a Moby art show. My art is painfully naive.
In a perfect world, I would be 6-foot-3 and have a perfect head of hair and look like Orlando Bloom.
