I've always been cool, basically. I was cool in utero.
art fun dressing-up
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
trying formulas
I try not to do anything by formula.
dream song film
I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
song art dad
Some people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist. I think some of his songs were political, and I think they were incredible because he was able to make art that was political and that wasn't pedantic. But I think he was unique in being able to do that.
records produce left
I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.
art believe trying
I spend my time trying to figure art out. I was brought up to believe that the way one processes information is by making it into art. That's how I live my life.
entertainment lucky my-friends
I'm lucky that a lot of my friends are in the entertainment industry
art invisible form
I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
song father play
I was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.
song bridges different
I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
dirty water toxic
Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. But when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word “clean” takes on a disturbingly Orwellian tone. Don’t be fooled. Fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy.
father thinking issues
Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane...
art thinking views
I think when people try to use their art for political views, I think they're art becomes smaller, less interesting. And so for me, as an artist, I'm trying to speak about things in a universal way and not be pedantic or small-minded and try to convince other people of my political views. But having said that, every day I live in sort of complete terror because of what I read in the newspaper and what is going on in the world. I'm constantly, as I think many of us are, overwhelmed by the sort of, mass psychosis that's occurring.
