No one comes up to me asking for a crack dealer's number. People come up to me to talk about lyrics, about music, about the band.

The world that surrounded me disgusted me so I chosen to invent one of my own.

If you've lost your faith in love and music, Oh the end won't be long...

I have a very bad relationship with the future. We don't get on. We just ignore each other.

Broken glass. It's just like glitter, isn't it?

The more that you follow me, the more I get lost

There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.

'Each man kills the things he loves'. I recognise that in myself, in relationships, even with guitars, beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.

I'm not going to be hardened by these people, to these things, I'm not going to let them destroy my feelings or my emotions.

I’m vain because I’m imperfect.

I fall in love with Britain every day, with bridges, buses, blue skies... but it’s a brutal world, man.

everyone has their folding-point, Miles. Their mortal vulnerability. Some just keep it in a nonstandard location.

I think I'm a workaholic, but I'm a workaholic that is loving his work.

Some people are amazed at my brain, but really it's nothing.

Literature is the memory of humanity.

The biggest failures come round and spring ultimate surprises of survival.

Meditation is an opportunity to move into a dimension where there is no such thing as stress within you.

There is a certain type of conversation one hears only when one is drunk and it is like a dream, full of humor and threat and significance, deep significance.

No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.

I think everyone should do what they love because it will never feel like work that way.
