I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.

Anything that has to travel all the way down from your cerebellum to your fingertips, there's a lot of things that can happen on the journey. Sometimes I'll listen to records, my own stuff, and I think god, the original idea for this was so much better than the mutation that we arrived at.

People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.

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.

Imagination is a powerful deceiver.

It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

Really the only thing holding a lot of records together is the personality of the singer, and the will to write all of these different things.
