“I had some pretty lucky and good living situations; thankfully I never got forced out of an apartment. A lot of my friends got evicted or pushed out and couldn't afford a new place. For me, I wanted more space to set up a home studio, but there was no way to afford that.” WayHomeWantedSpaceSituationLuckyMy FriendsStudiosApartmentNew PlacesGood Living Author:Mikal Cronin
“I made $3,000 opening for the Neville Brothers, and they paid me in cash. That was a bad situation, because I bought ridiculous stuff. I bought a snake bite emergency kit. Then I said to my friends, "Don't even worry about snakes anymore".

“Ang [Lee] gave us a lot of books about cowboys who had been gay or stories about it and all that stuff.

“In the beginning, I was very punk. I was very revolutionary. When they asked me to do Givenchy, I didn't want to do it. My friends pushed me. But the situation with my family was so bad financially.

“I think I may have too much of a scientific mindset and am always looking for the caveats and qualifications in any situation.

"Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know What life is, you who hold it in your hands"; (slowly twisting the lilac stalks) "You let it flow from you, you let it flow, And youth is cruel, and has no remorse And smiles at situations which it cannot see."
