Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It's surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

My daughter very independent. But if she's upset about something, she will absolutely let me know. She's great - a real tough cookie.

My whole act is off the top of my head.

I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.

Men dissimulate their dearest, most constant, and most virtuous inclination from weakness and a fear of being condemned.

A bird only flies. It does not turn to another bird and ask, am I doing this right?

I feel strongly that women who look like me should feel great. So I am not changing.

Sincerity is the highest complement you can pay

Since I'm not a seller of the stock, I don't really care what it is today.

I didn't defraud the government by taking money that was not mine.

This we learn from Watergate that almost any creep'll be glad to help the Government overthrow the people.
