There are times when the art world seems like a religious empire. There are great cathedral galleries and pilgrimage sites where treasured art pieces are displayed like holy relics, and this can certainly be a great pleasure on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
I remember when I first saw 'Guided by Voices'; those earlier recordings are so deconstructed, kind of like four-track music, and so artful in their collage and in their weird fragility.
I've separated my shoulder and my collarbone; I've messed up my knee a million times. I've broken my foot in several places. I've broken my toe a bunch, broken my nose a couple of times, and had a bunch of other annoying little injuries, like turf toe and arthritis and tendonitis. It's part of the game.
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption; it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
Actually the copies of characters is something I don't particularly like to talk about in articles but just for your information, most characters there's only one.
If I sound like I'm enjoying myself, it's not artificial. It's real.
I think if I'm 40 and I don't have any kids and I'm not married, I would have a baby artificially inseminated. I would feel like Mary - like Jesus is my baby.
There's no point in treating a currency like a commodity, devaluing it artificially and causing a lot of poverty among poor countries.
I usually travel with a posse. I roll deep. I travel like a rapper, but without the artillery. We don't carry guns, we carry cookies.
It is probably like an artist. They see in their head what they want to draw, and they draw it. It is like I have a feeling inside me that I want to create on a horse, and that is what I do.
I am just an artiste, and I like to explore new avenues.
I personally really like getting a proper album with artwork and everything.
Because I was a diminutive, arty kid, I felt like a misfit in high school - but who doesn't?
I think the whole, like, cultural diversity and the arty side of London is really, really great. And how it's so historic as well.
There's a side that I want to do just like really retarded arty films like parody, pretentious art films that kind of are supposed to have some deep meaning.
I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.
Science fiction and fantasy feels like it's been ascending in the zeitgeist.
What I have been talking about for many years is opportunity conservatism, that every policy should focus like a laser on easing the means of ascent up the economic ladder.
When you start to ascertain a physique, you run that thing where you don't want to lose it. It catches you; it's like a hook.
The usual metric for whether a planet is habitable or not is to ascertain whether liquid water could exist on its surface. Most worlds will either be too cold, too hot or of a type (like Jupiter) that may have no solid surface and be swaddled in noxious gases.
