I believe that the beauty of repetition is something that is not explored enough yet.

Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.

Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

I like the fact that there is challenge.

It was an hour and a half plane ride, so I slept. I try to sleep because that's probably the only time I get to get my real sleep. When I can't sleep I read books or watch movies.

I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.

I'm nothing more than what you actually see, but I am also the complete opposite.

I was in the studio so much, it was about the search for air in a metaphoric sense, and the breathing has more to do with travel for me, about the search musically for open air.

It's just trying everyday to do the best you can and to enjoy what you have with the mixture of the venue and the sound and the crowd.

When you write songs, you can't really point out the exact thing you're inspired by. It's more a state or a mood or an atmosphere that you're trying to put into words.

The Pope is a mere tormentor of conscience. The assembly of his greased and religious crew in praying was altogether like the croaking of frogs, which edified nothing at all.

The moment I understood this - that my Parkinson's was the one thing I wasn't going to change - I started looking at the things I could change, like the way research is funded.

All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. It is only the dose which makes a thing poison.

... the grand tour is just the inspired man's way of heading home.

Literally, I just love food and I like going to dinner with big groups of people so you can try everything.

It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.
