As a New Yorker you can't help but be proud of the fact that so much music and culture started here. Punk rock, jazz, hip-hop and house music started here, George Gershwin debuted 'Rhapsody in Blue' here; the Velvet Underground are from New York.

I can't think of any musician or producer who has influenced me more than Brian Eno. From when he was in Roxy Music, producing Devo, the Talking Heads and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.
The strange thing about hotel rooms is that they look familiar and seem familiar and have many of the accoutrements that seem domestic and familiar, but they are really weird, alien and anonymous places.
The term 'renaissance man' is always bandied about. I don't think that applies to me. You think about Leonardo da Vinci, and he was a painter and a physicist and an architect, and that is a true renaissance man.
When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.
Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.
I love to be busy. I'm envious of people who are able to take their spare time and relax. All I like to do is work. Perhaps it's lingering Calvinist guilt?
Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.
David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.
I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead.
