I record to my heart's content whatever I feel like.

I don't read liner notes and stuff, and I don't read articles very often.

MySpace is such a weird world to me. I don't have a MySpace account. The stuff that's up there, I didn't set any of it up. Fans set it up.

I'm more of a perfectionist. I need to be sure everything is exactly where I would want it.

I don't have a dayjob or anything. And then, winter's [makes it] hard to do anything.

I like things to be a little bit absurd. But I don't really like playing covers.

If somebody is going to kill me or hurt me..., let's be the enemy not my friends!

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

Everybody loves to hate a sinner

I was blessed to be part of a commercial, pushing for this energy bill, but we've been unsuccessful.

I did about 2000 covers altogether, for all sorts of books - from Shakespeare to James Bond - and I always had the idea that I must give 100%, no matter who the author was.

If Todd [Willingham] was guilty of anything, it was just his self-preservation. He got up and ran out of the house and then thought about the children after the fact.

Why do people measure life by the years instead of how good the years were?

You can't be fat and fast, too; so lift, run, diet and work.

The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
