I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.

I don't sleep very well when I travel. And as a result, I tend to be awake in cities when everyone else is asleep.

There's something about the human brain, that it actually has a predilection towards negativity, which served us really well when we lived in an environment that was very threatening.

I wish I could sing. I don't technically have a terrible voice, but it's certainly not as good as most of my friends. Whenever I hear myself on a record, it just reminds me I'm not a very good singer.

Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.

When I was growing up, albums were my closest friends, as sad as that may sound - Joy Division's 'Closer,' or Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven Up Here'... I had a more intimate relationship with those records than I did with most of the people in my life.
