"And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought Im going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up Im going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan."
"Im well past the age where Im acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. Youre not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines youre not going to get played on radio and youre not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth."
"Im just an individual who doesnt feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. Im working for me."
"On the other hand what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons you understand but the ghosts."
"Im very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didnt think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel thats happening to me. Im rather surprised at who I am because Im actually like my dad!"
"The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that its not going to happen. Im fully confident that copyright for instance will no longer exist in 10 years."
"Im in awe of the universe but I dont necessarily believe theres 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."
"The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time."
"I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time."
"It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience having gone through persona changes like that that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be."
"The humanists replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow youll either save yourself or youll be immortal. Of course thats a total joke and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but theres no ethical progress whatsoever."
"I realized the other day that Ive lived in New York longer than Ive lived anywhere else. Its amazing: I am a New Yorker. Its strange I never thought I would be."
"Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So its like just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. Youd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because thats really the only unique situation thats going to be left."
"To not be modest about it youll find that with only a couple of exceptions most of the musicians that Ive worked with have done their best work by far with me."
"Theres a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that Im affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution as for my brother he doesnt want to leave. He likes it very much."
"I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me hes up there with Bryan Ferry."
"I had to resign myself many years ago that Im not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me it really does."
"Im looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I will play everybody."
"Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I dont think Im camper than any other person who felt at home on stage and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage."
"I dont profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime for instance."
"I suppose for me as an artist it wasnt always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go."
