Form is the host; content is the virus.

Anything can become music if listened to long enough

I hate that rule that says write about what you know, it leads to too many British novels about marriages going slightly wrong. Write about what you don't know, just act as though you do.

We have flooded ourselves with the media in all its many forms. Our minds are now open to signals. We have become aerials.

Expect to feel pleasure. Knowledge is sexy. Expect to feel pain. Knowledge is torture.

Woman magic. A quality that could bring great joy or havoc or both in equal measure.

If you cannot work on the marriage or the women is a moron, staying married and cheating makes the most sense because divorce is disruptive to the family life and your bank account.

Extremes produce reaction. Beware that our boasted civilization does not lapse into barbarism.

Whether we know it or not, our minds and hearts are populated by all the characters we will ever need - though we may disassemble them and rearrange the parts into composites for variation.

So many people equate money and success with happiness, especially in the music industry.

Money is central to our lives. Yet money is not of central importance. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the lasting values that make life worth living.

Sometimes the dues we pay to maintain integrity are pretty high, but the ultimate cost of moral compromise is so much higher.

If you wish to enrich days, plant flowers; If you wish to enrich years, plant trees; If you wish to enrich Eternity, plant ideals in the lives of others.

I'm human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.

As I matured, the things that I liked influenced the music I wanted to make.
