I Want To Write Songs That Are

I Became A Script Writer With Absolutely No Idea Of How To Write A Script Whatsoever. I Still Feel A Bit Of An Outsider In That Regard. If I Can Maintain That Approach To Screenwriting, It Can Continue To Be Enjoyable.

What I Think About When I Frequent The Museum Of Natural History, The Metropolitan [museum Of Art], And I Look At These Artifacts That Are Taken Out Of Context And How We're Forced To View Them As Objects, As Relics, As Sculpture- Static. But What's Interesting Is What It Allows Me To Do In My Head In Terms Of Imagining What The Possibilities Are Or Imagining The Role In Which They Played Within A Particular Culture Which I'm Fascinated By.

I Was Reading The Bible A Lot Through My 20s, Mostly The Old Testament, Just Because I Was Knocked Out By The Language And The Stories. I Felt That The God Being Talked About There, Who Was This Insane, Vindictive Patriarch - It Was Kind Of Thrilling, And Titillated Something In Me At The Time.

I Look At You And You Look At Me And Deep In Our Hearts Know It That You Weren't Much Of A Muse, But Then I Weren't Much Of A Poet

The Songs That I Like Are The Ones That You Can't Visualize, That Are Just Cries From The Heart - Those Very Straight, Direct Songs That Make Rock & Roll Music So Wonderful.
