3 Anger

  • 2. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.
  • 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 would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.
  • 2. I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture art and architecture and learned of the existence of the game of GO which I still play.
  • 3. To me a building – if it's beautiful – is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
