As a young person, I was on the road playing music, so I was getting new environments shoved in my face whether I wanted them or not.
From Henry Rollins
Anything in this culture that stands still long enough eventually becomes okay if a person can derive an income from it. Eventually, pay-per-view public execution will happen, and it will be half-time entertainment.
I always start tours with a great deal of anticipation.
I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like; same thing in Iran.
I would like to become a better photographer. I'm working on that.
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
When you are young, there is so much ahead of you, it's like the Saharan desert. You can't even see across it.
Miles Davis would have this lineup of all these amazing musicians and one day would just say, 'We're done.' After tons of great records and tickets sold, he said, 'Now I'm going to grow my hair out and play my horn through a wah-wah pedal.' Rather than play it safe, he went on.
Rarely do I do film press because I'm so low on the food chain of the movie, and for me it's just this thing I did for four weeks before the next tour started.
I find it takes a lot of strength to endure myself.
