Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love.

Love is love, and there will never be too much.

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way/ And say I've been getting along/ For long before you came into the play.

One of my friends said to me, "Oh yeah, of course you aren't writing." So I was like, "The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a new song." I wrote "Criminal" in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.

My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon around you but by the time I'm close to you I lose my desideratum.

I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.

It's weird not having companionship and not having somebody to talk to. I have two goldfish in my hotel room. They said, "If you would like companionship, we can bring you a goldfish." I was like, "Bring me a goldfish!" I have two because when I needed the water changed they brought another one. I was like, "Don't take Desmond!"
