I don't know why, the very first word on my very first record is 'Jesus.' I still invoke him as an entity to reckon with.
You can't carve up the world. It's not a pie.
Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.
Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.
I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.
