To heal the wound, you have to go into the dark night of the soul.

My father was a minister and so rock music was banned in our house.

My favorite saying is, 'If it's too loud, turn it up.'

When they say take from my body, I think I'll take from mine instead. Getting off, getting off while they're all down stairs.

Neil [Gaiman, creator of the comic Sandman, featuring the Amos-based character Delirium] believes that faeries have gone beyond cool. They've transcended cool. I just think alternate realities make you a good writer. If your work is any more than one dimension, you believe in faeries. I'm sure I'll start thinking now about all the people I know who don't believe, that I quite like. We can still go have a pint. Not the Chardonnay, though.

Sometimes listening to music can motivate you. It can. But if you're a musician, that isn't always the way to get new ideas because you don't want to take somebody else's ideas. You need to find your own. So if you go to different artistic mediums, whether it's dance or it's visual arts or films or books, stories, sometimes it gets you hearing things, hearing progressions that you wouldn't come up with if you were just listening to other music because you don't want to copy progressions you've just heard.

and if there is a way to find you, I will find you. but will you find me if Neil makes me a tree
