If Richard Wagner Lived Today, He Would

I Just Haven't Let Myself Get To A Place Where I've Felt A Part Of Any Kind Of A Community, So I've Always Stayed Outside Of It.

If Richard Wagner Lived Today, He Would Probably Work With Film Instead Of Music. He Already Knew Back Then That The 'great Art Form' Would Include A Sort Of Fourth Dimension; It Was Really Film He Was Talking About.

I've Always Been Pulled Toward People Who Can't Seem To Make Anything Fit. It's Like A Cinema Of Isolation, Of Loneliness. They Go Outside The System And Create Their Own Society To Develop Their Obsession To An Insane Degree.

Even Gene Kelly: I Always Preferred Him To Fred Astaire, Just Because He Was More Athletic, Like Skateboarding. His Leaps Were Big. There Was Something Really Great About His Moves.

Spaceman 3 Was One Of My Favorite Bands Growing Up, And Jason Spaceman Is Someone I Got Along Well With. I Always Felt His Music Was Like Narcotic Gospel - There's Something Very Moody And Ethereal About It. Sun City Girls Is The Same, But Different. To Me, They're Like The Premier American Avant Music Act. They're Like The Marx Brothers Of Music. I Don't Mean They're Funny Like That, But They Turn Everything On Its Head.
