art outsiders blame
Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.
art thinking make-you-think
It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more
believe thinking artist
Many other artists who sing about hope think that it is something every single person carries within himself. I'm not so sure if that's true. For me, hope is the little light guiding you the way, which reminds you that life does have a sense, that you have goals. To believe in that is often more easily said than done.
casual dated girls knowing
I've never had casual sex, I have always dated the girls I've done pyshical things with. I like knowing the person and them knowing me.
metal pretend ultimately wants
Everyone wants to pretend their cock is big and metal is the medium, but ultimately it's about the songs.

I hate talking about my own songs. They're all about women anyway...

They'd double-booked the whole place, so at the same time, Playboy was shooting films there. So we're in this nunnery where Playboy models were hanging around, and we were talking about porn and recording a rock record pretty good combination, you know?
companies loads lovely record situation wonderful
We're in a wonderful situation that there are loads of American record companies that like what we do. And that's a lovely thing.

I love the Ronettes, the 'do-run-run-run' pop stuff. I love the lyrics, having 'blue, blue blue' being repetitive.
trying
Play as well as you can; that's it, as opposed to creating these odd paranoias, trying to be something you're not.
hurting
Hurting linde is like hurting bambi, you just can't do it.
love symbols
I love hearts. They are symbols for life, love and humanity.
I have never acted in one and I'm not at all interested to do so either.
taken two care
I've got asthma. When I was 17 I forgot to take my medication and was taken to a hospital for almost two weeks. After that I've taken better care of my illness.
