There's this thing called compulsory licensing law that allows artists through the record companies to take your music at will without your permission.
I try not to repeat myself. It's the hardest thing in the world to do-there are only so many notes one human being can master...One of the reasons we're going out on the road and why we're titling this tour as "Musicology" is because we want to bring that back. We want to teach the kids and musicians of the future the art of song writing, the art of real musicianship.
The works of art, by being publicly exhibited and offered for sale, are becoming articles of trade, following as such the unreasoning laws of markets and fashion; and public and even private patronage is swayed by their tyrannical influence.
The gummy bears tattoo was my idea. It's my son's favorite candy. The sketch was my other son's idea. It's a self-portrait of himself. I just showed the artist his sketch and had him tattoo it on my forearm. It looks like a stick person with big hair. It's pretty funny.

Making art has never been a mystery to me. It's never been something that's very difficult.
Throwing money at something doesn't really create - forgive me that onerous word - art.

Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.
I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.
My house is to me as my castle, since the law has not the art to destroy it.
As technology advances at an alarming pace, the place of drawing remains as valid as ever in the creation of art and architecture.
