On the whole, I tend not to listen to my peers.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

I think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology.

I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really.

When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.

I find it hard to take rock groups very seriously or treat them with respect. There is something absurd about these gloomy young men getting together and banging away.

I don't know how many thoughts we have a second, but it's quite an amazing number, and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those, all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.

I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.

There's no field of music which doesn't have good ideas.

I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.

Eating in Sweden is really just a series of heartbreaks.

Today, possible presidential candidate Donald Trump released his birth certificate. It lists his eyes as blue and his hair as ridiculous.

The public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy.

I think the media's the kind of thing where the truth doesn't win, because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.

Before 20 or 25 employees, most companies are structured with everyone reporting to the founder. It's totally flat.

I think celebrities are kind of put up on a pedestal and we don't really know much about them. I feel like my fans know every part of me because I've shown them.

That which doesn’t kill us just requires a few centuries of therapy. (Caleb) Yeah, and usually a lot of Tylenol. (Nick)

I can't say no. But I did say, "OK. But have another song just in case."
