I'm continually surprised by the amount of people I wind up. For many guys, I'm the faggot their girlfriend fancies.

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.

Não é verdade que a felicidade é aquilo que procuramos sem nunca sermos capazes de a reconhecer?

There is no other enjoyment like reading

I honestly believe that people of my generation despise authenticity, mostly because they're all so envious of it.

Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.

Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.

I don't need an alarm clock, for habit is the best alarm there is.

I've got a great place, it's a country house

I consider it my patriotic duty as an ordinary citizen - not as Secretary of State - to ask questions. I think we have to ask ourselves the tough questions.

Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.

Sometimes I feel like the most liberal person among conservatives, and sometimes like the most conservative among liberals.
