If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.

My friends are Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and we're singing about mortality, getting older. It's an interesting time.

I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.

I don't like singing before noon.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Humans make the mistake of believing that it is their right to survive. Species die out on this planet all the time without anyone noticing. The planet will still be there, and we must lose this attitude of divine right, that something will save us.

The compass spins between heaven and hell, let your soul be your pilot, let your soul guide you.
