“My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories... They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record.”
“Faith Alone is what really matters.”
“In Ronald Reagans case, he always bore with him this extraordinary ability to radiate confidence, optimism, clarity, a blitheness of spirit, in what other people saw as chaos. And after the 1970s, that was catnip.”
“I like to watch retarded people have sex, am I alone?”
“Sometimes I envy painters, it is wonderful to remain in front of a bouquet of flowers a whole morning, or even longer. A photographer is like a cloud, pushed all around, always dependent on the exterior world. That's what I sometimes feel as a pain and an error.”
“Where were the calls for a no-fly zone when Israel attacked Gaza”
“Climate change has happened because of human behaviour, therefore itâ€™s only natural it should be us, human beings, to address this issue. It may not be too late if we take decisive actions today.”
“Debate is so much better than denial.”
