I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Justice has nothing to do with victor nations and vanquished nations, but must be a moral standard that all the world's peoples can agree to. To seek this and to achieve it - that is true civilization.
I mean, the way I see it is, every penny I've ever made through music is free money.
My rule for the corporate stuff is the same as with my music - I do whatever means I can sleep at night and whatever means I can be dignified.
I see my studio like a laboratory, where I work like an investigator - it's almost forensic. I love the discovery process in painting.
I don't understand some of the music I hear on MTV or the radio, because they don't mention the times we live in. They have nothing to do with nothing.
Lovers of painting and lovers of music are people who openly display their preference like a delectable ailment that isolates them and makes them proud.
With the internet, things are so much more immediate. People taste-test things to see if they want to buy the CD.
