I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.

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.

Overall, the library held a hushed exultation, as though the cherished volumes were all singing soundlessly within their covers.

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.

Opportunities are rare in this life, and fairness, rarer still. So, when you discover a fair opportunity, go after as if it were your last because it very well might be.

Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience.

Earth was created for all of us, not some of us.

If you listen to really deep ambient records that don't move too much, very still records, long after those records are finished, you might find yourself listening for hours to the sound of the room.

I always try to be open to whatever the universe wants from me.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

You can tell yourself that God's not fair, or you can thank Him that He's not fair. If God was fair, we would be doomed and condemned.
