We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free.

Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.

Good press, bad press, whatever, only means a lot to me if it's writ by somebody I respect, by somebody I like.

I didn't know Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse, but I was affected by both of their deaths because I admired their work so much and mourned their youth and work they would never produce.

I always hesitate when people call me a musician.I have had no musical training. I can't play anything. I really think of myself as a performer. It's always been writing for me. I evolved with my band in rock 'n' roll through poetry, not through music.

Wisdom was a teapot, pouring from above. Desolation angels, served it up with love.

Social media could be very strong in terms of bringing people together but it also takes up so much of people's time that I wonder if we've lost the ability to daydream.
