"I realized I could have an easy life…just have a glass of Cognac and good books and two jobs and do my songs in the evening, but I would be such a consumer, taking it all in and not giving anything back. I thought: Ok…if I don’t go on a mission now and make some sacrifices, as these people did, I will never forgive myself."

"I think it is an interesting feeling when you get older and you realize there is no 'they,' there’s no government or elders, there’s no one you can point at and blame. You’ve actually got to become that person."

"You can kill people with sound...and if you can kill, maybe there is the sound that is the opposite of killing?"

"After tragedies one has to invent a new world, knit it or embroider, make it up...you have to imagine something that doesn't exist and dig a cave into the future and demand

"We go through changes roughly every three years, sometimes seven, where our colour palette changes and how we feel changes…the aroma or the textures…the lightness or darkness around us shifts."

"Last year was the year I lost my patience with people who deal with life like it is not precious."

"In my most natural state, I'll be introverted for say, six days in a row, and then on the seventh day I'll become very extroverted... Then I'll have to go back inside myself... It's something I can't really control. It's a bit like the ocean and the tides."

September approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around. I can’t face the dead reality. I want rainy days, lanterns and a hundred moons twining in dark leaves, music spilling out and echoing yet inside my head.

"I want to grow away from the pathetic little world we exist in. I want to leave it all behind, all the petty thoughts about unimportant little things, things that'll be forgotten a hundred years from now anyway. There's a level somewhere where everything is solid and important. I'm going to try to reach up there and find a place I know is pretty close to perfect, a place where this whole messy world should be, could be, if it'd just take the time to learn."
