Pornography takes all the reality out of sex and Disney does that to family life.

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.

In a song you can kind of stage-manage everything so that it puts you in a good light. And once a song is recorded, it always performs well.

People who make good music aren't necessarily nice people.

I am passionate about keeping the human dimension in things. You have to keep the rough edges and the inconsistencies, that's what makes it interesting. I've always striven to be as sloppy as possible.

I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.

I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
