Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.

I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.

Experience really does make you better, man.

We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.

I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you.

That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then.

People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.

Religion is the search for ultimate meaning.

I spent the whole time battering people I liked and singing with my arm round people I loathed.

A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.

Perhaps; but I am a difficult person to live with. My difficulty consists in not wanting to live with other people.

Some people would say you need what you need to work, but I need very little to work, because I learned how to make movies on tiny movies. It's all kind of easy for me.

I have a Russian heart.

While most girls run away from home to marry, I ran away to teach.

World-changing startups need to be premised on accurate contrarian theories.

Reagan's genius as a communicator lies in his use of ambiguity. ... Ambiguity is the mother of Teflon.

Do married people live longer than single people or does it just SEEM longer?
