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

And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me

In getting older, I find myself becoming progressively more ineffectual in a lot of different ways, and part of that is down to no longer having the youthful feeling that what you're doing has any true impact.

I'm not in the business of telling people what to do. I'm much more in the business of describing things, situations and stuff like that and leaving them out there, and you can make up your minds about them.

Everybody tends to overplay live. That's just the nature of playing live. And that can be great, but it can also kill something that's special, and intimate, about a recorded version of a song. You find out very quickly which songs you can play, and which songs you do damage to by playing them live.

I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.

After a while, you just don't do things you don't wanna do - that's the great freedom you get, the older you get. You learn what to do and what not to do, and what will be a waste of time and what won't be a waste of time.

I don't think Hollywood makes many good films anymore. How many directors can you really trust to have an artistic vision, not a corporate vision or a watered-down communal one?

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.

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

I’ve never intended to make religious records or records that preach some kind of point of view... If you’re involved with imagination and the creative process, it’s not such a difficult thing to believe in a god. But I’m not involved in any religions.

L.A. is full of screenwriters. I don't know why. On many levels, it's such a thankless occupation.

I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

I don't believe in an interventionist God

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.

I don't like those songs where you have to listen to a story to get into them. I don't want to have to pay attention to music in that way, I just want it to hit me in the heart and do what music's supposed to do.

Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.

Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.

The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.
