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.

I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.

'Content' is a word that has never sat well with me. Like 'maturity'. They are two words I've never liked. I think they imply some sort of decay. A settling.

Music is more like water than a rhinoceros. It doesn't charge madly down one path. It runs away in every direction.

Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.

What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.

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.
