At school I was an anti-magnet for women.

When I perform onstage, I'm actually kind of nearsighted, so I don't have any real, true understanding of what the audience is like.

I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.

I was so in debt by the end of 'Dust Devil,' having picked up the tab personally for the post-production of the movie, and having no way to recoup because I didn't own the rights to the movie. There was no way I could see any money back on it, so any money spent was just a dead loss.

The knowledge of the realm of death makes it possible for the shaman to move freely back and forth and mediate these journeys for other people.

That death was near, I suppose I believed, but I saw it only as a rest after the day's work.
