I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.
Sanity is a small box; insanity is everything.
Look down at me and you see a fool, Look up at me and you see a god, Look straight at me and you see yourself.
As long as there's hate in your heart, there'll be hate in the world. You can't fight for peace and you cannot capture freedom.
We're told, everybody, that all things are bad. Bad is not good and good is not bad. Bad and good go together. You have to accept one to understand the other. You've got to accept yourself as God. You've got to realize you're just the devil just as much as you're God, that you're everything and you're nothing at all.
Don't treat the dogs like people. Treat the dogs like dogs. They are better than people.
You are not you, you are just reflections, you are reflections of everything that you think you know, everything that you have been taught.
Sit not down without assurance. Get alone, and bring thy heart to the bar of trial: force it to answer the interrogatories put to it to set the qualifications of the saints on one side, and the qualifications of thyself on the other side, and then judge what resemblance there is between them. . . . Yet be sure thou judge by a true touchstone, and mistake not the Scripture description of a saint, that thou neither acquit nor condemn thyself by mistake.
I'm so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don't like them or trust them.
I just like having fun with my style and keeping it new.
Even if we could grow our way out of the crisis and delay the inevitable and painful reconciliation of virtual and real wealth, there is the question of whether this would be a wise thing to do. Marginal costs of additional growth in rich countries, such as global warming, biodiversity loss and roadways choked with cars, now likely exceed marginal benefits of a little extra consumption. The end result is that promoting further economic growth makes us poorer, not richer.
