My vibe was to just move forward at a really cool pace.

You have to understand that the bass guitar is the party instrument. It only has four strings. If you see a bass player playing five strings, take your shoe off and throw it at him.

I'm usually the yes guy, and I had to turn into a no guy.

I'm flying everywhere in my private jet.

More than a pleasant surprise, Danny Schmidt was no less than a revelation to me. And that's not a word I use lightly.

My idea was to release four four-song EPs, just like all the old Limey shoegaze bands used to do.

I love you not because I need you, but because you have created a place in my heart for you.

And I envy you. You have the one thing that matters. You have all your discoveries before you.

The refusal to change by clinging onto superficial material wealth at any cost today, is a certain sentence of death tomorrow for all future priceless life entities we have come to love and know.

Anyone who tells you that they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you, you dont. How can I be so sure? Because I dont know and you do not possess mental powers that I do not.

Guys don't do that when they go out. Guys don't wear outfits that feature the dong.

The universe tends toward maximum irony. Don't push it.

But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us.

The sweetness of life lies in usefulness, like honey deep in the heart of a clover bloom.

You cannot read the Bible and ignore the political realm.

If I stretch my arms and wonder where my fingers are - that is all the space I need as a painter.
