Humans are the big thing that cause damage in life - in war or whatever - and if I can get away from that and into a wilderness situation, I'm OK. You can more or less live on your own merit.

The hardest thing is to take less when you can get more.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

I'm no more or less antisocial than the next person.

Be as transparent as you can in your trade. The big thing in life is trust.

Making your own records is really satisfying in the sense that you more or less get to do what you want. It may not sell or whatever, but on an artistic level, the only people that you really have to fight with are the people in your own band.
