In many ways, I've chosen to be plain, almost too plain, too self-effacing. Like, if I record a vocal and I don't like the way it sounds, I would have them turn it up and take the reverb off it to make it as plain as possible.

Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.

I'm not really a strange person or anything, so if there's music I like, usually there's other people who like it too.

Next door, there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one day passed away in his sleep. And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days and passed away. I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.

Rock and roll is - and should be - a kid's place.

I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they're working. The songs just don't become a part of the film. They're replaced.

The press is like any business. Its a group of really intelligent individuals that ends up being one slathering, one-eyed, drooling monster.
