Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.

My favorite time of day is to get up and eat leftovers from dinner, especially spicy food.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.

I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching.

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.

I try to write about small things. Paper, animals, a house... love is kind of big. I have written a love song, though. In this film, I sing it to a lamp.

Analysis is like a lobotomy. Who wants to have all their edges shaved off?

Deep down, I know I have this intuition or instinct that a lot of creative people have, that their demons are also what make them create.

I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.

I don't care how impossible it seems.

I will Basquiat the canvas of your body like a Broadway Junction wall…and Gordon Parks you for those dark midnights when your scent fades.

The power of prayer is beyond the understanding of men.

I sit beside my lonely fire and pray for wisdom yet: for calmness to remember or courage to forget.

I'll keep going till my face falls off.

I speak Spanish because I grew up overseas in Spain, Uruguay and Argentina.

Actually, something is always happening. People who don't love the moment are always trying to achieve something, but when one is on the way, every moment is 'it.'

Queen Victoria, one of our more frumpy Queen's. They're all frumpy aren't they? Because it's a bad idea when cousin's marry.

If I have smashed the traditions, it was because I knew no traditions.

The clergyman who lives in the city may have piety, but he must have taste.

The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
