When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.

Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.

I guess the line between being paranoid and being a rock star is smaller than one would expect.

Don't let small minded people dictate how you should look and be free.

I want to be a better person. I want to be a stronger person. I want to be someone who hurts less.

Good conversation turns me on. A connection between two people, a mental one first.

There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.

Music has touched me deeply, sometimes to tears. But at the same time it's been life-affirming, because I've been grateful for the fact that I'm alive and human and capable of being so moved.

You would not like me if you knew me.

My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.

It’s not a lack of opportunity around me. Rather, it’s a lack of faith within me.

I went to the front, but I never participated in the war itself.

When you make his sandwiches, put a sexy or loving note in his lunch box.

A Peace to End All Peace.

The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.

In life the only thing that you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none.

Burnt child fire dredth.

Credit expansion can bring about a temporary boom. But such a fictitious prosperity must end in a general depression of trade, a slump.

Most people don't do something seminal. I've done it twice: with my tent and my bed. Picasso did it with Cubism.

I'm just saying what I think about at the time. I don't make a point to do anything, really.
