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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

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 can control the weather with my moods. I just can’t control my moods.

Everyone wants to feel that they matter.

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

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.

What I want people to recognize is that we have to keep working together and take charge because we all have the same story.

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
