nice kids fire
I was a pretty nice kid. Kind of quiet, but quiet in terms I wasn't going out and setting fire to anything. I had a big mouth and I was creative type, you know.
mom nice taught
My mom was a saint. She taught me to be terminally nice.
nice years issues
I'm a little bit damaged in about 15 different ways, and it's been nice that no particular damaged area has become a major issue. I'm a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff.
bowie macho sort
Well, I've never had any sort of macho revulsion of fags, but Bowie and I - never, never, never, never.
certain
Miami is nothing like me, and that's why I need to be here - it's the opposite. I'm practical, where this place is moody, I'm stolid in my interior, where this place has a certain flair, and I'm materialistic in a sense that this place is fundamentally spiritual - there's a quicksilver quality about this place.
heartless men minds music takes time word
'Punk rock' is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it.

She looked at me penetratingly. So I suppose you can figure out what happened next.

I mean, the embarrassment quotient has been going down for a long time, and the fond amusement has been rising.

I never say never about anything.
nihilism done
Nihilism is best done by professionals.
ideas guy jars
I have no idea why a guy would bring a jar of peanut butter to a concert.
sides prudent fairs
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
england easy easy-going
Living in England was wonderfully civil and easy-going.
lonely voice people
I try to beat back the producers and engineers so they - there's not an excess of stuff used to squeeze my voice to make it artificial. There's a person in there, and people will listen; if they hear another person speak to them, they'll listen because it's lonely out here.
