My aim is to be able to be more spontaneous so I keep evolving my live set-up.

That you've got to do anything that you feel is precious. I especially believe that about cultures and languages. You've got to be really conscious because time is running out.

I find it strange that there isn't more of a melting pot of language within the pop charts. I feel it becomes really two dimensional when everything's in English.

The fact that Cornish exists at all is just incredible as is the work that people are doing down there, it's such an important part of who people are.

Music is enough of an expression that it doesn't really matter what the words are or what language it's in.

t.A.T.u. did a Russian version of 'All The Things She Said' and it was even better than the English version!

What playing solo has reminded me is how much I love electronic music and how much I love dance music. I'd like to move towards something more hypnotic and rhythmic rather than song-based.

You need to push yourself, put yourself in uncomfortable situations rather than stick to your comfort zone.

Each language gives you something different so that's a good enough reason for you to learn it.

In a world where globalisation wants to turn everybody into the same thing, I think that anything that allows you to go to another place or be in another world has got to be celebrated.

I instinctively want to create pop songs and I think it's really good to challenge that, otherwise it becomes a habit.

Love is what makes you bloom like a flower with a smile, beauty and fragrance.

It is not our external actions that attract others, but it is the actions of our imaginations, visualizations, and subconscious minds that attract others.

Never abbreviate your dreams. Only short-hand people always do that. Their punishment is that they can't stretch far, further and forward into the future. Dream only big dreams!

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it's just the thing that every man wants - to have a son and heir.

If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

If the dead could speak there would be no more war.

Plato's cave is full of freaks.

For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.

Love is not love if there is no beloved.

I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life - past, present, and future.
