These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.
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.
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.
Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way.
