As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

What makes me vulnerable is any genuine expression of emotion in the presence of another person. It makes me vulnerable and my inclination is, of course, immediately to back away from anything that makes me vulnerable.

I'm sure most people have this experience: when you're young you drink, you do drugs, you stay up late, and there are no consequences.

If you look at someone like Joe Strummer or John Lennon, when you heard their music you knew that they wrote it and they cared about it.

I've dated attractive people and I don't find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status.

The truth is that genetics has robbed me of hair. But it's not interesting to blame genetics.

I love lots of different types of music, but it's music that has this up-swelling of beauty and emotion that is most important to me.
