There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.
I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
I feel like I've been way overexposed in the press. I'd rather play shows and represent myself in person.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.
Growing up, I fantasized about being a rock musician and that somehow it would be really easy. I didn't realize that it's so much work.
For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.
There's no single movement out there. It's not like in the '60s, when Revolver came out and that's just it for the next year.
I'm not that in control of myself that I could be specific about exactly the way I'm doing everything as it happens. I'm just trying my best.
I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.
I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a Mozart of rock music.
Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world, and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.
My tendency is to be very experimental.
I try not to do anything by formula.
Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.
The work I've done, I'm really feeling the effects of it.
