I don't write my music for Sony. I write it for the people who are screaming down the road crying to a full-blast stereo.

Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Above all do not give yourself airs. Breaking the moment of past habits is the challenge here: In the life of the spirit you are always at the beginning.

I sacrificed my anonymity for my father, whereas he sacrificed me for his fame.

I like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?

I don't want my reputation to take me over, I just want to be judged on my songs. I want people to come and see me because they want to, not because fashion dictates it.

My favorite kind of music is the stuff that stops time. You put something on to sit there and let an experience go through you. To look at yourself clearly through a song. It's true of all art, all mediums, but for some reason music has a direct line straight into people.

I've already created my own thing.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur-- he needs to drive himself.

I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.

Fate is gonna find you in your glass of champagne.

In love we are all brothers and sisters

To do something that will just fly away is kind of special. Every time somebody tell you they love you, that I love you flies away, and you wait until the next one.

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.

And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this. I miss my beautiful friend.

Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
