• Well, hardcore is so much about the body, in that you have to play as fast as possible. I'm not sure it can be ironized. You can't play faster, though I suppose that with the help of electronics you could play faster. Yeah, if you sped it up, that could ironize it.

• I'm not sure, however, that what I have amounts to faith in the sense commonly understood. I have difficulty understanding the function of the word "believe" in the realm of faith, a basic term in the grammar of every creed.

• The mathematics is the odd one, odd because I'm not sure how to measure its effect. It is so fundamental to my outlook on everything and yet I'm not even sure how. It must be because in my formative years it was everything to me, the single place of beauty in my life, and of breathtaking beauty at that. I still believe that pure mathematics is the most creative thing that humanity does, though I am no longer a part of it.

• The fact is that in England so many of our politicians are career politicians - they've always been politicians since they left their education. And in the old days of course politicians used to be fish mongers or doctors or whatever. They'd lived life. These days, power seems to go to the hands of people that that's all they've done. And I'm not sure that's a good thing, because it does remove them from the realities of life.

• We create these walls between fact and fiction, but often the difference between the two is as little as that between a real name and a pseudonym. So I'm not sure about those walls - certainly not in the realm of visual arts.

• While it might be true that our reality would suggest that more writers would address these elemental issues of modern life - work, the marketplace, brutality, race - I'm not sure I have enough of a sense in aggregate of what the dominant novelists are doing to comment on why less do, or if less do. Maybe that's partly because I don't feel woven into any kind of fabric of contemporaries; I just read what I read, and do what I do.

• Me considero un artista narrativo. No me considero un novelista, ni un guionista, ni un dramaturgo. Todas esas modalidades de procesar y experimentar la narrativa son obviamente muy diferentes, y no estoy seguro de preferir una a otra. Creo que la novela te da la oportunidad de tener un tipo de interioridad que no puedes tener en el teatro, que es pura exterioridad.

• I'm an indulgent writer - I'm not sure, however, that's something I'm interested in changing. Writing should be indulgent: you should take big risks on the page, you should make big mistakes, you should be excessive at times. I let myself do as a writer what I probably would be less likely to allow as an editor.

• I'm not sure a person ever really reveals the whole of himsels or herself to another person, and I'm not sure we should. Or rather, just because you don't, it doesn't mean you can't have a meaningful relationship with another person. It's important to remember that this idea of confessing your most shameful, embarrassing stories and self to someone else as an expression of love and intimacy is a relatively recent phenomenon, and a new definition of what it means to be close to someone. After all, the self is by its nature secretive.

• I don't think paintings of nude women represent all women, but at the same time, I can't fault artists for putting out what inspires and challenges them. But for me, I'm not sure it's necessary for our bodies to define us, especially now when there are so many examples of femininity, of womanhood.

• I don't know if there's any formula. I'm not sure I believe in that, to be honest. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to music. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't, really.

• I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and I'm thinking about family more, but I'm trying to set up this thing where I can play in one city for a month, and then write music for a couple months, then play in another city for a month, write music for a month. Just so it's not these two schizophrenic, Jekyll and Hyde kind of things; you don't have to be this monster. You get inspired and you can go write one song from that, and then you go back and play a few shows. If I could've done that in the 90s, I would have.

• The New Age movement looks like a mixed bag. I see much in it that seems good: It's optimistic; it's enthusiastic; it has the capacity for belief. On the debit side, I think one needs to distinguish between belief and credulity. How deep does New Age go? Has it come to terms with radical evil? More, I am not sure how much social conscience there is in New Age thinking.

• I don't think any of us have the answers to everything. There's no human being on earth who fits that category. So why wouldn't you ask for help? Why wouldn't you run ideas by people that you respect? Too many young people cast around trying to figure out what the answer is themselves, because they're afraid to come back and say, "I'm not sure I understood you," or "Could you give me a little more information about what you need?" Just do that. It saves you time, it saves your boss's or mentor's time. And it's a great lesson to learn.

• Lo he visto en muchas jóvenes con talento que se reprimen porque no están seguras de que lo que digan sea lo suficientemente inteligente. O quizá han dicho algo en una reunión anterior y la gente ha actuado como si no lo hubieran dicho, y eso ha sido aplastante. Luego todos hemos tenido la experiencia de que 20 minutos después, un hombre dice lo mismo y todo el mundo responde positivamente..... Así que no te lo tomes como algo personal. Tómatelo en serio para entenderlo y luego intenta idear técnicas para superarlo.

• Al principio me metí en los grupos de presión en contra de mi voluntad. Francamente, no quería ser lobista, pero me di cuenta de que en los grupos de presión podía hacer cosas políticamente interesantes para mí y hacer algo que creía que sería bueno. No estoy seguro de que todo saliera así, pero al menos esa era parte de la idea inicial.

• Francamente, no estoy seguro de lo lejos que llegaría si asistiera hoy a la escuela pública. No es sólo que las escuelas públicas no estén produciendo los resultados que queremos, es que no les estamos dando lo que necesitan para ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar altos niveles. La educación K-12 en Estados Unidos está profundamente anticuada.
