I have a hard time with extreme imagery. Like I can't watch horror movies or anything like that.

When you create something you leave little crumbs of stuff that you've experienced or music that you've listened to.

It's awkward, because sometimes you find new friends that are cooler than your old friends, and then your old friends desperately try to cling on to you even though you sort of hate them by now.

I have no interest in making music solely for a white audience. If that's what our audience is, I don't really feel responsible for that.

At least for me personally, drugs aren't an essential part of having a surreal experience, or what you might call a higher experience.

Drugs don't have to be a part of that to me, so if somebody says - your music takes me to that sort of place - then I'm really psyched.

I'm really into the idea of playing sit-down drums again. I don't know if it'll end up that way, but as of right now, that's what I'm interested in doing.

Even though there's stuff that I really like that is just a retro sort of style or whatever, I feel like what I'm most excited by is new mixes of things.

I feel like in a conversation if things get said and then repeated, it sort of becomes inherently part of the narrative whether you want it to be or not.

I always dreamed of going out to space. The idea of going to a planet where nobody's ever been is attractive to me, it just suits my nature.

I guess that's my defence, is like - even if people think it sucks - it's not me anymore, you know.

If this dysfunctional family was the best Sodom had to offer by way of morals, some might begin to feel a certain sympathy with God and his judicial brimstone.

A really well-done first draft of a book bares your soul. The purpose of revision is so that everyone who reads the published version believes you were writing about theirs.

Blame yourself if you have no branches or leaves don't accuse the sun of partiality.

I think you're all mad. But that's part and parcel of being an artistic genius, isn't it?

There's nothing grimmer than the tragedy that wears a comic mask.

I want to sing more in Spanish. I want to sing the songs of Granados; the songs of Montsalvatge. To do things that truly I've not done before.

And if you ever do a survey, you'll find that people prefer illusion to reality, ten to one. Twenty, even.

There are very few things that are purely conceptual without any hard content.

God is a peaceful ground of being. He is the energy of nonviolence. To ask Him to help is to ask Him to turn us into profoundly peaceful people.

I play ten, twelve weeks out of the year, five times a week, and I really still love to do it. But that's not what I'm interested in doing now. Even though I love it.
