I feel like a good song is one that ticks all the boxes, but a great song is one that has this kind of special quality that just resonates with people.

I have three brothers. Poor Mum; four boys.

When I come up with something that I feel like people will connect with that makes me happy because I know that it would be something that would just go beyond me.

I feel like so many people get into that place where creating for someone else is selling out and it is so not about that. It is a stupid, kind of pretentious way of thinking.

I feel like writing music is a great chance to create something that extends beyond yourself.

If we all knew how to make that jump from good to great then I think every song would be great.

Something like film, I guess there are so many elements to it, like the dialogue and what makes sense culturally.

There is a balance in between where you can still make art, but it does not have to be insular.

You don't make a film and then be like I am only going to play it in my house and no-one is going to see it - that is ridiculous.

I think my first song ever was when my cat died. It was this awful, dreadful black cat who was angry and hated everything. Yet I was so upset when it died.

If I was made of cake I'd eat myself before somebody else could.

I just got my blood running with so much love.

Because it strikes me there is something greater than judgement. I think it is called mercy.

When a man holds you round the throat, I don't think he has come to apologise.

About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives.

I saw the desert, it grew upon me. There are times, when I have sorrows, that I hunger and thirst for it.

To the questioning glance of love, as it flashes out and then conceals itself, speech has no reply; the smile, the kiss, the sigh answer.

Ted [Cruz], you support legalizing people who are in this country illegally.

It's an important point to realize that the genetic programming of our lives is not fully deterministic. It is statistical - it is in any animal merely statistical - not deterministic.

Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died.
