Songwriting is never one thing. I've spent as long as three months writing a song. Other times I've done it in twenty minutes.

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

They're great girls. They're very funny, they're very smart, they're fun to be with. They're very lively, as I think people can tell. And you know, they're very confident girls.

I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to comics history.

I work three days at home, and two days in the British Library or the London Library, just to get out of the house and hide from the children.

Only those who feel little in the eyes of God, can hope to be mighty in the eyes of men.

Reducing military presence has never in history won a war.

Black widows may be powerful predators, but every predator is somebody else's prey.

Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

It is not a lucky word, this name impossible; no good comes of those who have it so often in their mouths.

We should exterminate all rational thought.
