A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!

Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.

I guess the line between being paranoid and being a rock star is smaller than one would expect.

Don't let small minded people dictate how you should look and be free.

I want to be a better person. I want to be a stronger person. I want to be someone who hurts less.

When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.

Good conversation turns me on. A connection between two people, a mental one first.

There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.

Music has touched me deeply, sometimes to tears. But at the same time it's been life-affirming, because I've been grateful for the fact that I'm alive and human and capable of being so moved.

You would not like me if you knew me.

Dance like it hurts. Love like you need money. Work when people are watching. -- Dogbert's Motto

The stars in the sky are immeasurable.

Our beliefs become the rules we live by, and then here's what happens: We make ourselves right.

We are all easily taught to imitate what is base and depraved. [Lat., Dociles imitandis Turpibus ac pravis omnes sumus.]

I have only one eye. Do you want me to look at the road or the at the speedometer.

We need an angry generation, A generation to plow the horizons

Lord of Lords, grant us the good whether we pray for it or not, but evil keep from us, even though we pray for it.

I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.

Once I stopped trying to always do everything my way, and once I asked for God's help, things have truly gone a different direction.

Our attention to each breath keeps us in the now.
