People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries. If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die. A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors. I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia. My father was an American who could cuss in Italian and make an aria out of it. It was wonderful to watch. But then again, he was a Gemini. I believe in that stuff.

Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on. A friend who dies, it's something of you who dies. I like a lot of electronica. I like older jazz rather than newer.
