Everybody talking about being afraid of being boring is boring. You have to go for the real substance of life after awhile.
For me, it's hard to enter any situation with people where we're considering everyone equals, because I bring all of this massive baggage into anything that I do, preconceptions of my work. That's a lot for the people that I might be bringing along with me to bear.
If you make a strange, eccentric record - like the Velvet Underground's 'White Light/White Heat' - it takes on its own mood because it's less about a shrewd marketing plan; it's more about an individual emotion.
Los Angeles was really beautiful, and California in general is a great place to live.
I like all the obnoxious Eagles stuff that just drives people crazy. I love 'Life In The Fast Lane' and 'Hotel California.'
I enjoy Dinosaur for what it is. It's a unique band that has a unique chemistry.
