Good press, bad press, whatever, only means a lot to me if it's writ by somebody I respect, by somebody I like.
I don't know about that. I'm not a very analytical person. I have various impulses. I've often quoted Walt Whitman's phrase "I contain multitudes." I understand that.
Nothing is a hobby - each discipline is its own world with its own high standards. Of course, every artist has 'minor works' that they do, but I don't think I have any 'minor disciplines.'
The only way I can lose my mind in bed is to destroy myself in a fantasy.
I learned from him that often contradiction is the clearest way to truth
Rock & roll is like a painting. Can great paintings still be done? It depends on who holds the brush.
Life is like a roller coaster. It's never going to be perfect - it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it's all worth it.
If you over-plan, you close the door on possibilities.
The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.
...my camera is my friend, and I take it everywhere.
We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free.
I wasn't taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.
What I've always tried to do is to express the highest point of me, and rock 'n' roll is the first and the most open form created by our generation. The cool thing about it is that you get the power, you get the rhythm; you can be taken over sexually, you can be taken over cerebrally; it's great to look at - it's a package deal.
I wasn't thinking so much of music. I wasnt thinking so much of perfection or stardom or any of that stuff.
