I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all. Sometimes it's me, or a composite of me and other people. Sometimes it's not me at all.
I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.
I can't do anything I want to. I mean, I can't have my own TV show. I can't have my own movie. But within my little world, nobody tells me what to put on the albums.
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
