I Could Never Have Done What I

We See Each Other [ With Iman Abdulmajid] A Lot. I Couldn't Stand To Be Separated For Months. It Became Quickly Apparent To Me That I Needed To Find A Balance Between My Absolute Work Obsession And A Private Life That We Could Share Without My Disappearing All The Time.

I Hate Albums That Are Really Happy. When I Am Really Happy, I Don't Like To Hear Happy Albums, And When I Am Really Sad I Don't Wanna Hear Happy Albums... And I Tend To Gravitate Towards The Lonely And Isolated Anyway When I Write.

I've Made Over 25 Studio Albums, And I Think Probably I've Made Two Real Stinkers In My Time, And Some Not-bad Albums, And Some Really Good Albums. I'm Proud Of What I've Done. In Fact It's Been A Good Ride.

I'm In Awe Of The Universe, But I Don't Necessarily Believe There's An Intelligence Or Agent Behind It. I Do Have A Passion For The Visual In Religious Rituals, Though, Even Though They May Be Completely Empty And Bereft Of Substance. The Incense Is Powerful And Provocative, Whether Buddhist Or Catholic.

I'm Afraid Of Americans.
