That's what I like about watching a movie: you enter an imagined world that's more interesting, more engaging than your own. Or less painful than your own.

It's a wonderful life if you can find it.

Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.

I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
