I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs.
A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while.
I love it when people yell at me about the environment and then I tell 'em I'm burning 90% cleaner than them.
Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning, find someone who's turning, and you will come around.
And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.
I live for playing live. All my records are live, since After the Gold Rush, with the exception of Trans and the vocals on Landing on Water.
With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.
We need to spread out now in the universe. I think in 100 years we'll be living on other planets.
The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.
Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.
Something comes along and you have to jump on and do it. You can't stop until it's done.
I watched the needle take another man.
Wise it is to comprehend the whole.
When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention.
