Photography and movies are a much bigger influence on me than music is itself.

If you want to do a movie about aliens coming down to Earth nowadays, you need to do it with a smile.

I probably watch movies more than I actually listen to music, I think.

I don't really watch too many remakes. I saw Scorsese's version of Cape Fear, which was good. That was a good remake.

I like to think that the music is a mixture of personal experiences mixed with photography and movies.

I like to get everything done during the early morning hours and the early part of the day.

I think you go through different phases when you do albums, and I think that they change according to where you are in your life and what you're inspired by at the moment.

I very rarely sit down with a guitar and try to write a song. I usually think about it a lot and then I'll try to re-create what was in my head at the time.

I don't work at night. I'm not very good about working at night. I get tired during the day and I usually like to save my nights to try things out recording.

It's not really a conscious decision to do a quiet album or a noisier album. It's just something that happens, I guess.

I guess my life was in a pretty disorderly fashion, so I think the music came out that way a little bit.

'Sartor Resartus' is simply unreadable and for me that always sort of spoils a book.

It looks better when you do your own stunts, because seeing somebody's face when they're doing them is fun for the audience.

The United Nations cannot stand by and witness the destruction of the people of West Papua.

I'm really shy with my acting when it's off, because the camera gives me an excuse to be in character, whereas otherwise I would just feel like an idiot.

Under our constitutional system, the executive executes the laws that Congress has passed. It should not be executing laws that Congress has rejected.

I like happy sets. Happy sets are good, and I think people feel comfortable on them.

Love is a treasure for which we can never pay. The only way we keep it is to give it away.

the very fact of the death of someone close to them aroused in all who heard about it, as always, a feeling of delight that he had died and they hadn't.

When I'm with my friends I'm funny, but I don't feel like I'm a funny clown

Nothing had changed in my routine, except that when I went down the chippy and got me special fried rice, it would be wrapped in a newspaper that had my picture all over it.
