Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, 'My appetite is more important than your suffering'?

I was trying to convince myself I could learn to be gay - but no. That's one of my great regrets.

Keep your weather eye open, and sing out every time.

I don't put a lot of pressure on myself when I'm writing. It feels like if I come up with something good, or I come up with something bad, I'm not too worried.

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

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.

There are so many musicians, friends of mine, who play shows for ten people a night, or always desperately wanted a record contract. So even if every person on the planet loathes me, I have nothing to complain about. My job is not a bad job, so I can't complain.
