If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?

I don't mean to sound like a cheap prostitute, but you can call me what you like.

You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.

There's this idea that artists are free and that means that we can do whatever we want to do. And it's very important to engage with this idea, just as human beings, that we are free to do what we wanna do. So the real question becomes, then, what do we wanna do? And as one gets to know oneself, one finds that there are things that return again and again that you wanna do.

Life is miraculous, even when it's disastrous, it's still incredible, I'm fascinated with everything, life is fascinating, I'm fascinated by trees and dogs, but no one wants to hear me talk about it.

Even when other people don’t expect a lot out of you,you have to take the initiative.

There is something glamorous to me in taking a bit of a beating and keeping on going.
