All I want to do with my life is try and make music that I really love, and so every day I try and work on music.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.

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.

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

The people who get more fame, who get more money, more often than not they are miserable, insecure and on anti-depressants. It's strange that everyone keeps buying into this idea that more success is good, that more fame is good, that more money is good. Yet, we look at the people who have more success, more fame, more money and they're miserable.

'Arbitrary' and 'odd' are the words which best describe the pattern of my career. I'm perpetually baffled by the whole thing.
