Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being.

I feel like a juggler running out of hands.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.

Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.

We're all just animals. That's all we are, and everything else is just an elaborate justification of our instincts. That's where music comes from. And romantic poetry. And bad novels.

The Internet is overrated. It's much smaller an innovation than people think it is. I don't think it's changed the way anybody makes music.

Living a very long time would be a very scary thing.
