I was a lower middle-class kid. My family had no money. There was no room in our small house where there were already four kids, including myself, living.

I come from a real working class background, and I didn't know anyone sophisticated - except I saw Edie Sedgewick once at the Art Museum in Philly. She had these black leotards and little black pumps and this big ermine cape and all these white dogs and black sunglasses and black eyes. She was classy!

Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.

Mohammed personally mapped out seven heavens. If he got to seven, you know there's more.

It was always my belief that rock and roll belonged in the hands of the people, not rock stars.
