Andy Rourke and I had been playing together from 14 or 15, and we had a very great musical chemistry. Andy's just a very respected and unusual musician.
It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
I spent most of my 20s playing music. I was in a band, and we worked really hard and did not get very far.
Everyone in my family has been in music - my cousins, my grandmother, my grandfather - so it's quite a big family tree.
I've got two older sisters who I'm very close to. And my son's grown up with a big sense of family around him.
I was a schooled musician. When I made 'Blue Velvet', I told everyone what to do. I was an arranger. I learned music in school I told the band to play this. I told the guitar to do that.
I can't leave home without certain movies. 'The Godfather' is a big one for me. And I've gotta have my beats so I can write new music.
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
My family making music was like a folk background, really: banging on tabletops, playing banjo and all kinds of things.
