I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.

There's that kind of song, Whoah baby, I love you, which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

God has matured. He is not the impulsive, bowelless being of the Testaments - the vehement glorymonger, with His bag of cheap carny tricks and his booming voice - the fiery huckster with his burning bushes and his wonder wands. Nowadays God knows what He wants and He knows who He wants.

The more information you have, the more human our heroes become and consequently the less mysterious and godlike. They need to be godlike.

You're collaborating with people you don't even know, when you're making a film. You're collaborating with people you've never seen. So, the collaborative process is very, very different than when you're collaborating on a record with the musicians you've worked with all your life.

It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.

When I start to write a song, I initially fall into patterns and creative habits that are familiar, and because they're familiar, they sound convincing. It's important for me to not pursue those ideas, because I've already done them, but to find ideas that are different and feel strange to write and disconcerting to write.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.

But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.

'Inspiration' is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything.

I've always done a lot of research and stuff around the songs that I write so there are pages and pages of writing and you can kind of see these songs emerging.

Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.

To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.
