A certain excessiveness seems a necessary element in all greatness.
Some of my music requires an obsessive-compulsive approach and a real embodiment of excessiveness. So I really have to live in that world of overstimulation. Sometimes I think it's like a drug; more is more, and you can never get enough. The older I get, the more I crave that excessive aesthetic. It's never going to satisfy me.
There is a sort of love whose very excessiveness prevents the lover's being jealous.
I love the unabashed over-buttered, over-creamed, deep-fried, gooey, over-sugared excessiveness of Amish food.
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
