Somehow sleep allows us to see clearly those very things that are obscured by the light of day.

I find that most men would rather have their bellies opened for five hundred dollars than have a tooth pulled for five.

If it has more than three chords, it&#39;s jazz.

I don&#39;t really think about what the subject of my next album will be. I just know that I&#39;m going to make another album.

These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.

But I&#39;m also talented and I know when I created something great and Perfect Night is something great, no doubt, no but.

I think it&#39;s pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.

I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.

I don&#39;t think I&#39;m in any position to call myself a martial artist. I&#39;m a student of the martial arts.
