My objective was never to make money. I WANTED to CONTRIBUTE to human KNOWLEDGE and betterment.

'Hedwig' was PRETTY much all the things I wanted to do that other people SAID I probably shouldn't do: drag, PUNK ROCK, stand-up comedy... You know, combine them all in a thing that's supremely uncommercial from the objective point of view.

But I SAY these things in an OBJECTIVE dispassionate MANNER because, you know, and I can't explain why, but being one of the greatest guitarists in the world simply is not very IMPORTANT to me.

There were TWO mentalities, and both mentalities had to change. There was what I called the Afrikaner MIND SET of the Unionist politicians, which was HOLDING all power in their own hands, and discriminating, and their OBJECTIVE was to protect their identity.

Having decisions made not in midnight deals but in the light of objective EVIDENCE and after consulting those who will be AFFECTED should itself PROVIDE some REASSURANCE that the EU is trying to REFORM itself.

To look at ourselves from afar, to MAKE the SUBJECTIVE suddenly objective: this gives us a psychic SHOCK.

They just take on GREAT stories and they tell great stories. That's their only objective, at least that's been my experience, so as a RESULT we were ENCOURAGED to push the envelope and not hold back. I hugely RESPECT Marvel for that position.

Sometimes when you make a FILM you can GO AWAY for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a MUCH deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.

Women stand for the objective WORLD for a MAN. They stand for the THING that you're not and that's what you ALWAYS reach for in a song.
