I think what we like about music - and what we like about art in general....is that enterprise that stops our minds from spinning. Because we're always all over the place. A good song, a good lyric is a movie: it will just focus and calm and confer significance on this completely bewildering reality that all of us live in.

Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.

It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.

I've expressed my gratitude to my son many times. And his career is far from undistinguished, and it was a great privilege to have someone of this skill bringing this album to conclusion.

Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
