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.

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

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.

I just never really thought of not being involved, because when I write the songs I take them to a certain place and by that point I kinda know what I want them to sound like.

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.

Love is a universal language.

Failure is your invention.

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

The hatred and cruelty which have their source in selfishness are ineffectual things compared with the venom and ruthlessness born of selflessness.

The eye, the window of the soul, is the chief means whereby the understanding can most fully and abundantly appreciate the infinite works of Nature; and the ear is second.

When I'm offered a role, I look at what I think I can do with it. I look to see if I can project myself into it.

I like honest men of all colors.

Telling Phil Hellmuth a bad beat story, is like telling Joan Rivers a Botox Story

I thought of all that worked dark pits Of war, and died Digging the rock where Death reputes Peace lies indeed.

I have a natural tendency to feel well about the world, I suppose, one way or another. But then there is the problem of pain. There are things like [Abraham] Lincoln's beloved little boy dying.
