People Think I'm A Miserable Sod But

I'm Very Happy To Hear That My Work Inspires Writers And Painters. It's The Most Beautiful Compliment, The Greatest Reward. Art Should Always Be An Exchange.

I'm Always Sort Of Looking For Projects That I Can Sort Of Put Out Into The World, Into The Public Sphere, And To Somehow Cause An Effect. I Want To Be Able To Create Projects That Sort Of Are Going To Make People Think And Think In This Sort Of Magical, Sort Of Fantastical Way.

Oh, A Passing, Skeptical Kind Of Interest. I'm A Hammer-and-nails Kind Of Guy.

I'm A Kind Of Hard-wired Pessimist. I Can't Help But See The World In A Certain Kind Of Way.

You Can't Trust An Artist That Just Makes Good Records.
