I have a very strange relationship in general with women around my music. There's some that understand it and some that think there should be a law against it.

I think there is a certain perversity in my music in that I continue, you know, to eat at the same ball of vomit year after year.

Brother, be a brother, fill this tiny cup of mine. And please, sir, make it whiskey: I have no head for wine!

You can't trust an artist that just makes good records.

It's always a pleasure on a personal note for me to come back to Australia.

I write songs from the point of view I had at a time;I'm not tryingto write songs from a young person's point of view.That only ends in disaster.

I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?
