Not So Daft
With regard to the artistic control and freedom:
"We've got much more control than money. You can't get everything. We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. We chose. Control is freedom. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. Controlling what we do is being free. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing. A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses."

At the Clinic
Beautiful girls,
coming and going,
talking and waiting,
anxiously.
Old women and men,
hand in hand,
sewing and chewing,
listening.
Young couple with kids,
tiny scoundrels,
loud screeches,
running wild.
Me in my office,
clicking absurdly,
thinking abruptly,
procrastinating.

How could he have been so cruel to her?
She is, after-all, just a girl
She reads probably more than anyone he knows,
and quite swiftly.
And writes!
What a shame it is that he did not get the chance
to read one of her journals.
What a shame, indeed.
Though, she was a bit crazy,
childish, and a drunk,
she still cared, longed, tasted,
and touched
very much
like a human being.
How could he have been so careless?
The heart is both resolute and fragile.
Had he not ever before had his heart broken?
Smashed! Corrupted! Shattered! in a similar
manner to what he did to her?
Yes, in fact, he had. By those before her,
and those before them, and so on.
Though, he is a bit crazy,
he still cares, longs, taste,
