“I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.”
“I'm against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.”

But in saying that, I don't want to put on the mask of celebrity. I'd rather just do my work and see it as a trade.”

And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul - oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?”
“Thinking of a series of dreamsWhere the time and the tempo flyAnd there's no exit in any direction'Cept the one that you can't see with your eyes”
