No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.

The music that I made in my band wasn't the expression of everything I was into. Bands are based on compromise.

I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.

Probably the most cold-hearted thing I ever did. There was this spider in my shower - and I'm usually very kind to all of the creatures of the world - and you feel very vulnerable when you're naked, and I didn't really want to be near this spider he was kinda big and gnarly looking. The only thing that I could reach in the shower was this hairspray. So I hairspray-ed this spider to death, which was awful. I felt like such a jerk. It was really, really harsh.

I would love to hang out with Elvis Costello, to see what he's up to because he seems so fascinating to me.

When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.

Most producers get into it because they were just never handsome or charismatic or talented enough to be the star.
