A lot of student films in art shows are samey. It's a look at the life of someone making these boring films.

Here's the thing with lyrics: Words are just another musical instrument.

It's easy to not work on my album. I go out to the cinema, catch up with friends, eat, watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - that sort of thing.

Making music is a total hassle, really.

Most of the lyrics are rooted in my own experiences. But there is some sheer fabrication.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

Someone explained parallax error to me, and I thought Ah, with a cheap camera, it would be pretty easy to behead someone.

There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.

The internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.

I don't think of my music as something that works well in the background. And because a lot of it isn't in 4/4, people might not like to dance to it.

The study of scriptures is a weapon of war.

Of course I want the moon. And were you to offer it, I'd propose as a trade the stars in my eyes.

The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep.

I love Africa, and Ulusaba, our home in South Africa, is pretty special. It's on a rocky hill overlooking the bush, and from your room, you can see lions stalking zebras by the waterhole.

I don't have a belief problem, I have a focusing weakness. I focus on what's loudest instead of what feels best.

I see in my neighbor the Person of Jesus Christ.

You might be a redneck if a full-grown ostrich has fewer feathers than your cowboy hat.

Remember, in the vast infinity of life, all is perfect, whole, and complete... and so are you.

Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. But I got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name.

I wanna keep being productive and creative.
