It is the haunted premises of longing that the true love song inhabits. It is a howl in the void, for love and for comfort and it lives on the lips of the child crying for his mother. It is the song of the lover in need of her loved one, the raving of the lunatic supplicant petitioning his God...The love song is the sound of our endeavors to become God-like, to rise up and above the earthbound and the mediocre.

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?

I'm kind of old-school and love nothing more than sitting, opening a book, and reading it. But I also love listening to audio books.

The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.

Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.

I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.
