I'm An Outsider. I Will Always Be

Some Things I Won't Do For Any Amount Of Money. That's So Demoralizing And Goes Against Every Principle That I Hold. It's Like, Okay, Some Rich People Can Buy Me Because I'm A Talented Guy. They Can Buy Talent. You Can't Buy It For Yourself, But You Can Buy Other People's Talent To Serve Your Purposes. And Once An Artist Does That, He Becomes Like A Plaything Of The Rich. You Know, Some Of These Wealthy Collectors Have Paid Lots Of Money For Artwork That I Already Did, But I Didn't Do It With The Intention Of Catering To Them.

There's Some Connection Between Visual Images And Music. But There's Plenty Of Old Records Where I Have No Idea What The Band Looked Like, Or Even What Sort Of Context The Music Was Played In.

At Least I Hate Myself As Much As I Hate Anybody Else.

I Didn't Invent Anything; It's All There In The Culture; It's Not A Big Mystery. I Just Combine My Personal Experience With Classic Cartoon Stereotypes.

I Draw The Line At Some Things. Some Things I Won't Do For Any Amount Of Money. Like For Instance, There's A Couple Of Ceos Of Very Large Corporations That Offered Me Lots Of Money To Do Special Pictures For Them. And I Just Refused To Do That. Even If It Was A Million Dollars I Wouldn't Do It.
