For Me, Performance Is About Forgetting What

If I Had To Spend Equal Time Doing Paintings, And Equal Time Going To Galleries And Doing Art Business, And Equal Time Making Music, And Equal Time Going To Record Companies, Or To The Publicist Or To The Lawyer, Forget It. It Would Take Four Times As Long To Do All That Stuff. Unless I Had A Patron. That's Why Leonardo Da Vinci Was Successful. He Had The Medicis, Right?

I Always Work On New Year's Eve, No Matter What.

I Get Myself A Gig Somewhere, Whether It's In A Club, Whether It's In A Bar, It Doesn't Matter, And I Just Work On New Year's Eve Because I Always Feel It's Very Symbolic For Me For The Next Year, For The New Year.

For Me, Performance Is About Forgetting What I'm Wearing. Just Putting It On And Knowing It's Right.

Lately I've Been Believing That Music Predates Speech.
