True Repentance Has A Double Aspect. It

I Hardly Ever Listen To Any Of Our Old Stuff Now. Once The Songs Have Been Recorded And Put On To Vinyl They Become Someone Else's Entertainment, Not Mine.

I Am Very Self-conscious A Lot Of The Time.

There Were Only Two Times In My Life When I've Actually Felt Down About Things And Gotten Myself Into A Full Mental Mess. One Of The Times Was In 1982. I Had A Horrible Time For A Few Months And Felt Pretty Desperate. Then Again In 1984, For Various Reasons, Not All Of Them Within My Control. Since Then, I Just Wander In And Out Of Black Moods.

I Would Be More Familiar With Janet Jackson Than I Was With The Teardrop Explodes Or Joy Division, Because I Didn't Want To Listen To My Competitors For Fear Of Nicking Ideas Off Them.

I Had No Desire To Be Famous; I Just Wanted To Make The Greatest Music Ever Made. I Didn't Want Anyone To Know Who I Was.
