We'd hold a chord for three hours if we could.

I'm writing a movie about Mozart going to New York in the '60s. I've been reading so many novels.

If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

Growing up in Wales was a pretty Draconian experience with religion.

The avant-garde makes more sense to me.

I never use the word, it's loaded. What love means to me is need.

I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of playing football.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.

I'm impatient. I get twitchy. When I get that feeling I just go out and make something happen.

All of the sudden the audiences started getting younger and the spread of the attendance was really wide. I think it's as a result of the records selling more that they started following our careers.

In cities like New York and Austin, there's much more of a social context for music than in other places.

We'd hold a chord for three hours if we could.

People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.

I want to get lean and mean, keep it minimalist.

The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.

When somebody grabs a movement, you're kind of locked into it. It's all par for the course.

The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.

If you're all loaded up on love, you haven't got anywhere else to go.

That's what my life is, writing songs.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.

I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.

There's no reason, ever, to be late. Or early.

Mountains know secrets we need to learn. That it might take time, it might be hard, but if you just hold on long enough, you will find the strength to rise up.

True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.

I can't miss a night's work and let my public down.

Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given up.

I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.

I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.

The question I always ask is: 'Where are all the women directors in America?' You know, where's the female Martin Scorsese, the female David Lynch?

Money can't buy everything, but it can buy most of it. Because of money, I could give my parents a comfortable life.

I never feel like there's any one point to the film, to anything, to any of the movies I've made.

Healthcare is growing now at about 10 per cent per annum in the U.S. top line, versus 3 per cent for the economy. As someone with a sharp pencil and an eye for this kind of thing, this can't last.

People always want to ask me about my drug problem - I never had a drug problem; I had a self-esteem problem!

I'm not a social friend of the Reagans. That's by their choice and by mine. They don't drink enough.

I started out by myself, but it eventually turned into a trio by the mid-'60s - a conga drum and another guitarist. And that's been mostly what I've worked with most of the time.

Memories even bittersweet ones are better than nothing.

There is no hell, no inferno except the frenzy of living.

I'm the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that.
