You can't censor people's dreams.

We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.

The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.

Dreams are a scientific fact.

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.

I was always jealous of something getting more attention.

People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups.

In this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die.

I've been able to make a good living as a musician, but now it's time to do all the other stuff.

Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.

After Nashville sushi and a long debate on Bob Dylan, we went into Woodland Studios at 10 pm that night for a look around, and jammed for 5 hours solid.

I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again, like a balloon.

You can't censor people's dreams.

I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.

So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I've got a lot in common with everybody else.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

Everything is a reaction.

Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.

One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

If you do things out of time you're weird.

When you think about great teams, The Beatles and the Pythons immediately spring to mind. The Pythons were as much a part of their time as The Beatles.

As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

Production is something I've never come to terms with.

Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.

An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again like a balloon.

Just as with a guitar you can improvise a guitar solo and theyd probably be similar each time but they wont be exactly the same. With the word its probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.

One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.

Vain hopes are like certain dreams of those who wake.

We don't have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that's what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

War is eternity jammed into frantic minutes that will fill a lifetime with dreams and nightmares.

All books are either dreams or swords, you can cut, or you can drug, with words.

I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.
