You could spend every waking moment online and still only experience one-trillionth of what's out there. I find that a little overwhelming.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, 'My appetite is more important than your suffering'?

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

But settled things were enemies to me and soon lost their newness and color. The unknown called.

You don't win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.

The British government has urged its citizens to abstain from alcohol at least two days a week. Or to make it easier to remember, whenever they brush their teeth.

Where the most beautiful wild flowers grow, there mans spirit is fed and poets grow.

You're just like crosstown traffic, so hard to get through to you.

A shy face is better than a forward heart.

Unsung, the noblest deed will die.

Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.

My children forgave me at a time when I could barely forgive myself.

Child. That was a terrible thing to say to anyone who was almost thirteen.
