It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet.

I think the labyrinth is an interesting metaphor for our lives as musicians. We're always being drawn toward the center of it because that's where the mystery is. What is music? It's a journey.

I quite like mistakes. I think they're human.

They build machines they can't control, and bury the waste in a great big hole.

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. See me walking down Fifth Avenue, a walking cane here at my side. I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York. I'm an alien I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York.

Takes more than combat boots to make a man.

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.
