People never heard bells in Western music sounding really cataclysmic. You hear that more in Russian music or in Asian, Indonesian traditions.

I never became primarily a musician! I've always been a wanderer and I'm always bored.

Not that I have anything against music now, but I just hated being an anything. I don't know why.

I'm not afraid to be a Russian Jewish romantic in my approach to anything, even in my animal divinities, or anything about the feeling.

I actually started as a singer in Brooklyn, and I lived in a community. To get out of the ghetto of my community, I was a musician.

My music education was oral. I was resistant to scores and things like that. In Jewish religious music, there are no scores. You learn everything by rote, by ear, by repeating.

I never wanted to have a profession, and I've succeeded in not having one, or if I did have one it never paid, or it's never been especially long-term.

There are some people who love being a something, but I also got the gist in the 60's when I grew up that you could be, in the art scene, very diverse.

I never made any money from my music. I don't make that much; I make it flip-flopping between five and ten different disciplines.

I hung around hippie-ish kind of people and, first of all, they never made any money. If you never make any money, you never have to declare any profession!

There are pieces that in the history of music that also make me cry. I'm not ashamed to cry.

I have a teacher friend who gets nervous when there's $200 in her account. But at least she knows that in a week, she'll get another paycheck. I have no idea.

Fear is a killer, when it comes to the creative process.

We don't need to respond with desperate violence.

I'm obsessed with Greek mythology. My favorite goddess is Artemis. She's strong and reminds me of Katniss, the heroine of The Hunger Games.

My last two characters have been Denethor and Walter Bishop. Both will be hard acts to follow. That sits in the hands of my managers, at present. I just have no idea what's going to be offered to me.

I was to be a photographer and that was that. It did everything for me. I love people. I needed the camera more than ever I would have believed.

There are more hackers breeding every day, and more brilliant minds are turning into hackers. Security has advanced, but so have hackers.

Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair.

Dance is one of the most powerful forms of magical ritual...It is an outer expression of the inner spirit.
