The power and the potency of music will transcend any one person's opinion about it.

I have a high self-opinion - I don't need to hide that. I don't need to be self-deprecating.

There are two kinds of men. There are men who are f**king misogynist pigs and then there are men who really love women, who think they’re the most amazing people in the world. And that’s me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.

It's much more interesting to embrace who you really are rather than waste energy pretending to be someone else.

You wouldn't be a complete band without a slightly cocky frontman, would you?

It is dangerous to exist in the world. To exist is to be threatened. We must live with threats.

Not every song has to be about love and tenderness, sometimes you have those strictly physical feelings for somebody and it's okay to have those feelings.
