I'm still at the age where I'm constantly seeking approval of people I have respect for.

If you watch a film without music, there's nothing that you can connect with.

I take every day as it comes and if I have to be somewhere, I'll be there.

I kind of got inspired by [William] Wordsworth and [Samuel Taylor] Coleridge - I went the old traditional way of finding inspiration, I guess.

People in London are so much more exposed to danger, or bad things. It took me quite a long time to grow up in that environment.

I think I'm very in touch with nature because I grew up in that surrounding. That's a big part of who I am; I don't know anything different.

I prefer darker things and more minimal stuff. I don't like when people just put words on canvases.

I try to read, but my attention span is so bad, and ever since Netflix was invented, that's all I do in my spare time, which is really bad, but it's like a chore to read for me.

I find Spanish really difficult. They speak so quickly, whereas in German it's very clear what they're saying. It's easier to repeat.

I'm a terrible sleeper. I get obsessive, repetitive thoughts and it's horrible.

There is a music for lonely hearts nearly always. If the music dies down there is a silence. Almost the same as the movement of music. To know silence perfectly is to know music.

I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst take the risk.

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.

I lived in a project and...didn't have a good education. But...I'd listen to the preacher, who said that God would show me the way. Everything starts from that confidence.

I draw from life - but I always pulp my acquaintance before serving them up. You would never recognize a pig in a sausage.

People often ask me whether I prefer theater or film, and the answer is that I prefer the one I'm not doing: The grass is always greener.

Forced to choose between limiting population or trying to increase food production, we chose the latter and ended up with starvation, warfare, and tyranny.

Hatred is something peculiar. You will always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of culture.

I am a stranger, learning to love the strangers around me
