people creative together
Advertising agencies come to you and they are great fans, they are great creative people themselves, but they ask you to do something, and you say, "Well, we will, we'll create something together." And it is work. It's like you're doing something and they're saying, "Change this" and "Change that." It's not hard, horrible work, but creatively it's not just freedom.
mistake thinking making-mistakes
We love it when we make mistakes that are better than something you could think up.
thinking madness good-things
I think it's probably a good thing to be considered stable, but with a capacity for madness.
play playing-music
We love playing music but were too weird to play music.
work-out people trying
To try to please people is an endless chasing of one's own tail. That's not very satisfying, so we do what we like and that satisfies us. When it does work out, its a bonus, really.
kings suits-you santa
If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.
caring thinking people
I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.
thinking hands people
I want to be able to shoot laser beams out of my hands at people. That's the kind of stuff that you think all bands should do, but they don't, and I can't understand why most bands don't want to do it.
moving-on years done
I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else.
Your life is built on when love dies.
hard-work records want
I am not that thrilled about the way our records sound anyway. Don't get me wrong, I work hard on them and I want them to sound fantastic but I'm happy to have another interpretation of them anyway.
song cutting thinking
If you have a song that you think sounds like another song you should contact the publishing company and say I have a song here, let's cut a deal that lets everyone walk away feeling good.
ideas embrace entertainers
I embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.
world sometimes
You want the world to be what you want it to be, and sometimes the world doesn't want that.
