Animals are nicer than humans and they're conscious beings. If you stick your grandmother in an oven, she will probably be tasty. But is that any reason to eat your grandmother?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now.

I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family.

I am stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.

Don't leave it all unsaid, somewhere in the wasteland of your head.
