What are you going to do when you are not saving the world.

I want to go and write music that announces to you that you can feel something. I don’t want to tell you what to feel, but I just want you to have the possibility of feeling something.

What's the point of getting up in the morning unless you're gonna have an adventure? As the moments of our life are ticking away you have to be aware that it needs to be an adventure

I've spent my life trying to make things simpler. Because I find ultimately that complicated doesn't reach the heart.

I get all my good ideas sort of at one o' clock in the morning, and I tried for a while to behave like normal people.

I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It's a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I'm writing.

You have to remain flexible, and you must be your own critic at all times.
