I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.

As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.

Life's like a mayonnaise soda.

It always bothers me to see people writing RIP when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me, RIP is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours.

Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.

Not too many songwriters, when they write songs go for broke. When someone does who's really good, it's astonishing. There's a reason a three-minute song can devastate you, or make you get up and dance, stop what you're doing and go, 'What is that?' It just hits you. And it's a very potent thing you're playing around with.

You can't ask me to explain the lyrics because I won't do it.
