I think leaders are incapable of the strength that passive resistance entails.

There's no hierarchy in suffering. I think songs that are transcendent are the ones where everyone can feel something from it, you know?

I find myself wanting to make music at the dining room table or in the bedroom - I'm kind of a mobile writer, so I sort of move around the house. But the attic is definitely where I can make the most noise. While everyone on the lower floors screams 'Earthquake!' But no! It's just my bass!

God looks out for fools and babies.

If I would not be able to create music, I would create art or something else. Perhaps cooking.

I tried to be as positive as possible, because I have the same birthday as Michael Jackson. He is my cosmic brother. I love him.

My legacy is in my family, not in my work. For me. I don't know about for other people. I try to forget a lot.
