Quote

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

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.

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.

I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

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

Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.

Some people, myself in particular, have an adversarial relationship with the camera, and it sprouts up in every photograph.

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.

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

My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.

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.

You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.

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

Do I personally believe in a personal God? No.

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.

Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.

I lost my innocence with Johnny Cash. I used to watch the Johnny Cash Show on television in Wangaratta when I was about 9 or 10 years old. At that stage I had really no idea about rock'n'roll. I watched him and from that point I saw that music could be an evil thing, a beautiful, evil thing.
