Part of being human is having a sense of humor.

Be you own hero, be your own saviour, send all your suffering into the fire. Let no foot, mark your ground, let no hand, hold you down.

How many records you sell really does not matter. It's whatever you give.

When you're 18 and you've made the album of your dreams, you're not really thinking about the machinery that will actually take it to the public. You just think: "I've done the best thing that I could ever do and this is the most magic moment for me."

Growing up, I never thought about the thing called money.

The world can get a bit ugly sometimes.

I'm getting older every day, and I'm going to be making music until I drop dead.
