I want people to feel good about listening to this [Delta Machine] record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

HeDestiny is very jealous FOR TRUE LOVE

Taxation is the legitimate support of government.

I feel pretty stupid that I don't know any foreign languages. I wish I knew French or Arabic or Chinese.

I used to be a print reporter.

My fortune is in the fact that I don't need it.

I operate out of confusion, towards clarity.

Our girls have learned that sweat is sexy, brawn is beautiful and a little dirt never hurt anyone.

All perfection is melancholy.

There is nothing preventing the enemy reaching Paris. We were fighting on our last line and it has been breached. I am helpless, I cannot intervene.

Oh, how hard it is to find The one just suited to our mind!
