Quotes

1 | On the surface, I'm a very cheerful person, but deep down I just love that dark winding road. I relate well to things being grim. |
2 | [on being a musician and an actor] "Sometimes people go, 'So which is it? Are you a musician or an actor?' I'm entirely and completely a musician. I'm really about making music, and that's my life's work. When a race car driver goes out and plays tennis, nobody goes, 'So are you a tennis player?' I also cook chicken. That doesn't make me a chef." |
3 | Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit. |
4 | Twenty years from now, I'll be in some studio arguing over whether there's too much cello. It's my life's work, and I'd do it all for free. |
