Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.

I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.

There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.

I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

Wind either breaks a tree or teaches it to dance.

Gratitude is the well spring of life.

Life does not seem to present itself to me for my convenience, to box itself up nicely so I can write about it with wisdom and a point to make before putting it on a shelf somewhere.

Do you suppose the human race invented boredom to make the prospect of death more palatable?

You don't have to be religious to have a soul; everybody has one. You don't have to be religious to perfect your soul; I have found saintliness in avowed atheists.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

You know, I have the best parents in the world and I got really, really lucky because they think that everything I do is Oscar-worthy.

A heart-felt prayer is not recitation with the lips. It is a yearning from within which expresses itself in every word, every act, nay every thought of people.

The prince must be a lion, but he must also know how to play the fox.

My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.
