I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.

You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

Time and time again I can't please myself.

I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.

Truth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of the greatest hits albums have songs that weren't hits. You have a career, the reason why we're still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.

Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.
