Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music.

What ever your doing right now, whatever your thinking, or worrying about. stop. take a huge breathe in, and just enjoy being alive.

I have always liked clothes and fashion. And really, being a British male, I am automatically the best dressed person in any room - especially in America.

Throughout my entire life, I constantly tried to fight normality. I hate it. I hate the idea of it. I hate routine. I hate anything that feels remotely regular or right.

I don't think competition is good in music. What is good, is the desire and the ambition to create your best work.

I really want to come back! I definitely want to come back. Some of my fondest memories are in New Zealand.

You don't have to be as good a writer to write a song; it's a very different process to writing straight prose. To learn how to write prose takes a lot of years of practice.

I love the band Haim. I would love to do something with them.

The sound is very much always in my head, I have to get the sound out of my head onto the recording.

I think particularly in music, popularity os a very fickle thing. You're only as good as your last song.

Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching me.

Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved vastly more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history.

I don't want to die without a few scars.

Mathematics is the science which uses easy words for hard ideas.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial one in any love story.

To build means to make architecture real on the borders of knowledge.

The whole story of human and personal progress is an unmitigated tale of denials today-denials of rest, denials or repose and comfort and ease and pleasure-that tomorrow may be richer.

That which cannot be said must not be said. That which cannot be said, one must be silent thereof.

Decisions made quickly were almost always regretted quickly.

We have learned to live in a world of mistakes and defective products as if they were necessary to life. It is time to adopt a new philosophy in America.
