Music:

I like all music. Well, I don't like music that was created to make money. I don't really like bands that don't write their own music. Beyond that, if a group is expressing themselves and writing their own stuff, I love. It's all magic to me. Country to punk rock, all of it. Chopin to Rufus Wainwright. I always say Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and curiously enough, Joni Mitchell. I don't listen repeatedly to one type of music unless it can cast a spell. I've mentioned in the past Radiohead, Neil Young and Tom Waits.

Television:

Watching television is like taking a can of black spray paint to your third eye.

Books:

Whenever you committed the evil of refusing to think and to see, of exempting from the absolute of reality some small wish of yours, whenever you chose to say: Let me withdraw from the judgement of reason the cookies I stole, or the existence of God, let me have my one irrational whim and I will be a man of reason about all else - that was the act of subverting your consciousness, the act of corrupting your mind. Your mind then became a fixed jury who takes orders from a secret underworld, whose verdict distorts the evidence to fit an absolute it dares not touch - and a censored reality is the result, a splintered reality where bits you choose to see are floating among the chasms of those you didn't, held together by that embalming fluid of the mind which is an emotion exempted from thought.

Heroes:

It is healthy not to have heroes, but people whom you look up too never the less...
