The reason I didn't like cocaine is it made me do stupid things, have stupid conversations, and stay awake until 11 o'clock in the morning unable to think, read, sleep or speak.

It’s perfectly natural for me to sit down and talk about meditating and spiritual practice with my friends. But then I realize, how would it sound to a drunk cynical guy in London?

To truly live a creative life means that you will need to experiment in as many different fields as possible.

If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.

I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead.

I won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!'

For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.
