Ten minutes in the music scene is the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.

I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

Kashmir is my last resort. I think, if I truly deserve it one day, I should go there and stay there for quite a while. Or if I really need it at any point, it should be my haven, my Shangri-la.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

Prejudices are holes in people's general knowledge, filled with negative nonsense.

I didn't think we would ever make enough money to pay rent by playing music.

Having children and raising them will bring new purpose and new life to Heaven. It will not be the end of everything, but the beginning!

What am I doing? Nothing. I am letting life rain upon me.

There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.

So secretly, like wrongs hushed-up, they went.
