I Lost My Innocence With Johnny Cash. I Used To Watch The Johnny Cash Show On Television In Wangaratta When I Was About 9 Or 10 Years Old. At That Stage I Had Really No Idea About Rock'n'roll. I Watched Him And From That Point I Saw That Music Could Be An Evil Thing, A Beautiful, Evil Thing.

I Always Thought My Records Were Number One; It's Just The Charts Didn't Think So.

You Know, An Idea Is Just An Idea. There Seems To... The Kind Of Epiphanies That You Have, Like The Little Sudden Bursts Of Light, They're Very Small And They're Very Short And It's The Pursuit Of The Idea That's The Important Thing. . . . I Know A Lot Of People Who Have Way Better Ideas Than I Do That-much More Frequently Than I Do That Just Can't Sit Down And Actually Do It. Ideas Are Such Are A Little Overrated Really; It's The Work Behind The Idea That's The Important Thing.

My Music Has To Do With Beauty, And It's Intended To, If Not Lift The Spirits, Then Be A Kind Of A Balm To The Spirits.

What You're Really After When You See A Film Or Listen To A Song Is A Singular Vision, And I'm Not Sure How Much Of That You Really Get In Hollywood.
