Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I was a mixture of being incredibly old for my age and incredibly backwards. I was born quite old but then I stopped growing. I lived with my mum and dad till I was 30.
  • 2. There are a lot of downsides to being male. We age faster and die younger. But give us this: we're lifetime baby-making machines. Women's reproductive abilities start to wane when they're as young as 35. Men? We're good to go pretty much till we're dead.
  • 3. I must be more sensible and realize that at my age illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. There's the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community – not the community coming to the concert – they say 'Wow! I didn't know that this music was so amazing!'
  • 2. I think for business reasons fiscal reasons I think these cable networks can take greater risks and I think with a risk comes better programming. And I think USA has got an amazing identity to it now that is clearly defined with its 'Characters welcome' tag.
  • 3. Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.

3 Anger

  • 1. The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.
  • 2. The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.
  • 3. I'm not angry I'm not an angry person but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger as in pretending that I'm more angry than I actually am and sometimes it works quite well.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I left science then I went into art but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
  • 2. I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
  • 3. What's fascinating about D.C. the exteriors are these elaborate structures this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework and then you go inside and it's crap-looking – apart from the White House which is beautiful.
