I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

When I go on a nostalgia trip it's not aesthetic. For me it's about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I've experienced in the past personally.

I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

When young groups put out albums, they're always forced to go through this cycle of touring and talking and flaunting and posturing and peacocking. Nobody makes me do that anymore.

The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it's just terrifying when you're actually experiencing it as a person.

I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.

I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

Life may suck but death is worse.

Hypocrisy is the homage which vice pays to virtue.

In my life, I have made the occasional catastrophic choice, and it's just a case of moving on and learning from it.

In today's knowledge-based economy, what you earn depends on what you learn. Jobs in the information technology sector, for example, pay 85 percent more than the private sector average.

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.

It is the treating of the commonplace with the feeling of the sublime that gives to art its true power.

The spirit of wrath - not the words - is the sin; and the spirit of wrath is cursing. We begin to swear before we can talk.

Government conspiracy? They can't even deliver our mail and it's got our address on it and everything!

She's like a wind-up monkey that winds itself.

The new generation of consoles has as much power to do the kind of games that we do as the PC does.
