My secrets must be poetic to be believable.

Polarization affects families and groups of friends. Its a paralyzing situation. A civil war of opinion.

You don't have to bathe every day to look clean. It's just an illusion.

If you're the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.

One song isn't going to ever change things, but I suppose it's the accumulation of music generally [that is]. If you can imagine a world that has no music in it, it would be a very different world, so music does change the world by virtue of all the music in it. Cumulative music of every kind, from banging a drum to playing a flute or recording symphonies, or singing 'War, what is it good for?' All those things change the whole way we live.

I am not very conscious of the figures of speech that I use.

I really don't see myself being apart from music. I like doing lots of different things. I've been involved in film for quite a long time and I just like doing film.
