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

Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed, but all the past still yet to come.

You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.

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.

I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.

I think I have always had a pretty strong creative impulse. And that has probably saved me from abandoning myself completely.

I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.

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.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.

I love America. I really do. It's by far the place I like visiting out of anywhere in the world. I get a palpable sense of excitement when the plane's landing. It's a cliché, but there's still an incredible energy about New York in particular.

The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.

No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.

I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.

The way I go about writing records is that I make a calendar date to start the new record, so I have nothing. I don't have a bunch of notes that I bring into the office, I start with nothing at all.

People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.
