I try to catch flies in cups and put them outside. After I wrote 'The Underland Chronicles'... well, once you start naming cockroaches, you lose your edge.

My thing is, once you start to put a backbeat on your music or something that has a machine in it, you have popularity, but you lose the flexibility. And you lose a richness.

And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.

'Lord of the Flies' is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager; I still read it every couple of years.

I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it at an early age.

The eagle does not catch flies
