And I mean amateur in that dedicated fashion you find in a man who, only on Sundays, will build a cathedral out of matchsticks, beautiful but only to please himself and his family and friends. (friends and friendsh)
And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan. (music)
But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people. (work)
But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him. (work)

Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in. (song and singing)
Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man. (unknown)
However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums. (unknown)
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. (unknown)
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents. (talent)
I don't believe in some force outside of ourselves that creates bad things. I just think of it as all dysfunctionalism of one kind of another. (belief)
I either get super euphoric or darkly depressive, misery being my default position. My soul flies erratically on the wings of what I would imagine is a feeble bi-polarism. (soul)
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time. (music)
I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does. (music)
I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part. (america)
I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way. (art)
I think the biggest frightener now is the disturbing lack of interest in... among a certain proportion of younger people, a lack of interest in... no curiosity in what's going on. (people)
I tried passionately hard in the first part of the '80s to fit in, and I had my first overground success. (success)
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music. (music)
I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players. (music)
I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir. (unknown)
I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me. (feeling)
I've never responded well to entrenched negative thinking. (unknown)
It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece. (people)
It hadn't slipped my notice that I'd had more than a leaning toward pluralism in the '70s. I saw the proverbial two sides to every story, and that applied to music and religion and, I guess, politics. (music)
Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano. (unknown)
