He found it was as easy to hurl beauty as anything else. (On Robert Mapplethorpe)
I think some of that hopelessness of my generation got passed on to later generations - the sense of uselessness.
I immersed myself in books and rock 'n' roll, the adolescent salvation ...
Technology is 50% of rock 'n' roll - the magic, the art, the performance. If you don't have good technicians and a strong road crew who are devoted and believe in you and protect you, you're totally naked.
I would always say to anyone, you make choices that are important to you. Don't allow yourself to be exploited by something as fleeting as fame and fortune. If you're presenting yourself in a way that important to you in communicating your vision, then so be it. No one should allow themselves to be exploited ever.
These are the times, the times of our own, these are the shapes the world we formed.
I know fashion is a material thing, but we live in a material world and I love clothes.
No, my work does not reflect my sexual preferences, it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist.
Punk rock is just another word for freedom.
People came at me with all sorts of offers, wanting to make me into a hard-core Cher. I had no desire for any amount of money to be reformed for someone's vision, because in the end, that's what you got: your clay in someone else's hands.
I don't like answering to other people's philosophies. I don't have any philosophy, I just believe in stuff. Either I believe in something or I don't. Like, I believe in the Rolling Stones but not in the Dave Clark Five. There's nothing philosophic about it. Whenever I'm linked with a movement, it pisses me off.
I think I work in two worlds. I'll always try to kick through a wall. I did that when I was younger and I still have my way of doing that.
I think I'm constantly in a state of adjustment.
I've said this over and over, but I'll say it a million more times - I'm concerned more about the death of a bee than I am about terrorism. Because we're losing hives and bees by the millions because of such strong pesticides.
