I don't dismiss the music that I was involved with, I don't think it was a joke, I don't think it was funny or a phase, I don't think it was just something I was doing back then, to me it was who I am. It connects all the way through. I don't distance myself from any of it. ↗

My point of view is, I'm just a person, and there are times when I look at other people and think, 'My God, they spend so much time thinking about things that seem so absurd.' But I'm sure people must think the same thing about me. ↗

Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it. ↗

So the idea that there is nothing essential, in the sense that there are no human universals, is dogma. Ask most anyone who is going to be shot at dawn. ↗

I questioned everything. I didn't see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me. ↗

The nice thing about New York is that you're finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs. ↗

It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office. ↗
