I've always believed that there's an amazing number of things you can do through a rock'n'roll song and that you can do serious writing in a rock song if you can somehow do it without losing the beat.

I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.

Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.

You won't see my parents honored on any stamps.

Music is an amazing thing. I don't know if we really think about it the same way we consider a painting an amazing thing. I mean, a painting is, in quotes, imaginary. There is nothing on the canvas when you start; and writing a song, there is nothing there when you start.

I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.

Over what guilty spirit to not hear the beating, to not hear the beating, but only tears of perfect moan, only tears of perfect moan.
