The fact of the matter is I'm 21 now. I stay home. I feed my dogs. I don't really go out. I work.

I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

I can't change the world. I have to fix me.

In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people, you feel better about yourself.

You never really want anything you can easily have.

I never had innocence.

I'd always been treated like an object, not like a human.

Music makes your soul feel amazing while you're performing it.

My dad was a great dad.

It was a light which gave solidity to everything and drew colour out from the heart of objects.

If you can't stop thinking of it, don't stop working for it.

There's one thing you can say for air pollution, you get utterly amazing sunrises.

Laughter was like an enormous trap waiting patiently in the room with them

I survived. (J'ai vecu.)

That absolute pure honesty of the horse, man that's just the greatest thing there is

Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

So even the most unlikely events have to take place somewhere.

Consciousness will not always solve the problem, but it may make the suffering meaningful.

The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
