My parents have a strong work ethic but their attitude to life their philosophy is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

I keep guitars that are you know the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when whatever be the attitude of the body the soul is on its knees.

But the attitude of faith is to let go and become open to truth whatever it might turn out to be.

I think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is they're trying to write about. They have music.

We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.

You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

We want to answer this classical question who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art or whatever we do including science or religion tried to answer that question.
