I'll Ruin Everything You Are, I'll Give

I Had Very Deep Concerns About My Financial Status Because I Found That Up Until "let's Dance" I Was Virtually Broke Again. I Had Been So Irresponsible In How I Dealt With My Financial Affairs. I Take Full Responsibility For That.

I Felt I Really Wanted To Back Off From Music Completely And Just Work Within The Visual Arts In Some Way. I Started Painting Quite Passionately At That Time.

Having Not Really Written Any Generational Songs - I Think Maybe Two Or Three Of The Songs That I've Ever Written Have Any Bearing On The Age Of The Listener. My Stuff Tends To Be Far More Concerned With The Spiritual And With Subjects Like Isolation And Being Miserable.

I Wanted To Prove The Sustaining Power Of Music.

The People Who Don't Know So Much About Me Regard Me More Sexually.
