1 Age

  • 1. What's a man's age? He must hurry more that's all Cram in a day what his youth took a year to hold.
  • 2. To keep the heart unwrinkled to be hopeful kindly cheerful reverent – that is to triumph over old age.
  • 3. I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's great when people appreciate your work but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing and that can even be extremely lucrative but I love it either way.
  • 2. I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people and they're singing my songs! And to me that's crazy.
  • 3. Actually we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records yet they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.

3 Anger

  • 1. What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive.
  • 2. Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time anger at what we can't do fear or even disgust at growing old.
  • 3. As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud the anger is elevated sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!
  • 2. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 3. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.

5 Architecture

  • 1. My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.
  • 2. Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.
  • 3. People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.
