Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

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.

Anything is possible if you're true to yourself.

You can break a man with hope.

Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.

An irrelevance, and your life's altered.

The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can't have both.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.

I used to write poems more when I was younger, but I haven't in a long time. I just write ideas and paragraphs and go from there.

There are always ups and downs, no matter how successful you are.

Twitter is the limit of me putting myself out there.

Gratitude is the greatest prayer. Thank you is the greatest mantra.
