I'm always sort of looking for projects that I can sort of put out into the world, into the public sphere, and to somehow cause an effect. I want to be able to create projects that sort of are going to make people think and think in this sort of magical, sort of fantastical way.

Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music.

I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

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.

The artistic process seems to be mythologized quite a lot into something far greater than it actually is. It is just hard labor.

I suspect the older you get the more invisible you become.

The secret to longevity in the music business is to change, and to be able to change. [...] An actor has to assume other people's identities. A rock star doesn't need to do that. [...] But change is important.
