I've never seen, heard, nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yes, I'm for debating anything!

I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid.

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent, and there were 150 people waiting for me, all wearing masks of my face.

I believe there's a landscape that exists underneath everything that we can see in present-day stuff. And I think that makes life kind of a detective story.

My hand trembles, my heart does not.

Each environment has its own signature. Sound tells a story: You make choices about what you're hearing, where to look, how you want to feel about what's going on.

There's no attempt to manipulate the audience. We made our choice at the start.

Dark impulses certainly exist in me and, I think, in most people.

We shoot double episodes in 15 days in Los Angeles.

I've always been a bit of a sound freak in the movies I've done.

I'm a firm believer that you learn a hell of a lot more from your failures than you do from your successes.

If we wait upon God, there is no danger. If we rush on, He must let us see the consequences of it.

The contented have time to worry about trivialities; often to the extent that they never achieve anything worthwhile.

With the history of us, a book wouldn't necessarily be the best thing.

The person who is right is the person who is the strongest, in this case, paradoxically, it's the cowards who are the brave ones, and they manage to impose their ideas on everyone else.

Once youve changed who you are or who youve portrayed in your music, the fans, theyll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.
