When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.

I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

It's not about WHO is right, it's about WHAT is right.

The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak.

I really detest movies like 'Indecent Proposal' and 'Pretty Woman' because they send a message to women that sleeping with a rich man is the ultimate goal and really that's such a small part of it.

It's a poore stake that cannot stand one yeare in the ground.

It's a real stumper to sit around and try to think in your own head, but when you go into somebody else's head that takes the foot off the breaks. You can think in someone else's head.

Reading and gardening are really big for me, along with music and exercise. If I go more than a day or two without a run or a bike ride or something, I start to get kind of itchy and antsy.

Never trust the judgment of an enthusiastic man; never trust the promises of a lazy one.

the truth of a poem is its form and its content, its music and its meaning are the same.

I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.

They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.
