But for me if I'm gonna read about something I'd rather read a pamphlet or the instructions to a synthesizer than a book on Buddhism.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
