I'm quite into listening to music and not doing anything else.

I suppose subconsciously I was thinking in terms of having the scale of it matching the scale of the images. Hence the sort of string quartet, jazz band and electronic stuff.

When people say you're doing something radical in rock or dance music, I'm not sure how special that is. What we do is so old-fashioned. It's like trying to do something innovative in tap-dancing.

Anything that has more of Graham's guitar playing, I'm bound to like.

Everything I know about pop culture I know from 'The Simpsons,' and they say the Grammys aren't very good.

I think it should be ambitious and good music does deal with life and art and all these wonderful things.

Everything I do feels like It's going to end up being in Radiohead.

I'm pampered like you wouldn't believe.

I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.

When you turn your back on hypocrisy and do nothing you don’t change the hearts of others you change yours.

Whatever you do in this life, take time to sit quietly and let the world tell you what it needs from you. Take a moment to honestly understand what your gifts are-you have them.

War doesn't determine who's right, it determines who's left

I walked away from going to church when I was 8. I didn't set foot in another church until I was 28.

All painters are interested in photography to a certain extent.

Is it true cats wont stay in a house when it's haunted?

Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.

The central banks cannot control interest rates. That's a mistake. They can control a particular rate, such as the Federal Funds rate, if they want to, but they can't control interest rates.

A great European federative system alone can be favourable to the development of civilisation.

An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
