I think I'm from the 18th century, not even the 19th. I don't even use a typewriter. I prefer longhand, and that's how I submit my manuscripts to my publishers.
Let me show you how it's done... Loser!
There are winners, there are losers and there are people who have not yet learned how to win.
It's not the winning that teaches you how to be resilient. It's the setback. It's the loss.
I've lost love. I've tried to reclaim a lost love and didn't know how to do it.
It's a miracle that David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop are actually still alive today, given how hard they lived.
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
Working with Lucille Ball was just a master class in how to do comedy.

'The Prince' was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
My belief is that every single major magazine cover is retouched. I don't know how they couldn't be.
Usually, sprinting is my main source of energy and recovery time because that's how I move.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Tori Amos had a major influence on how I craft words in a song.
The fact that Stravinsky used the classics as a major influence is obvious. What is interesting is how he used them, how he turned Bach into Stravinsky.
