Quote

I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

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.

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

I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.

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?

Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

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.

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.

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

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

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

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

If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.

The society of whores stuck needles in an image of me.

Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That's terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.

Some are exploring the world through the subconscious. I've done that on occasions for various reasons, whether it be illness or self abuse, or whatever. Once things start to look grotesque I don't write them or sing them. I couldn't write them - making nightmares into living daylight...The minute it gets dark I shoot back, retreat.

My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.

The more settled I've become, the more problematic my characters have become. There was a period when I wrote sensitive and gentle songs and these came at a time when life was at its most destructive. I think you write about what you need, on some level.

I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.

Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
