I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.

There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.

We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.

I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for.

I really do think everybody can sing.

I'm not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.

A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

I don't even think my voice is really good.

If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

We always did our own mixing.

The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative.

If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try.

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.

We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive.

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.

It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.

Pause and remember? Stop procrastinating! Wishing is wonderful but action is what it takes to make it happen.

A spouse is not a destination but a fellow traveler.

Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.

The world is shifting from a hegemonic era, where the United States dominated alone, to a multipolar system.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

Theory is the essence of facts. Without theory scientific knowledge would be only worthy of the madhouse.

The role of business is to provide products and services that make people's lives better - while using fewer resources - and to act lawfully and with integrity.

Reflecting on where I came from helps me to appreciate and balance what I have now.

I guess I have a strong constitution.

My name is not 'William Shatner.'

New York gave me hell for that 'Purple Swag,' man. They didn't respect me until 'Peso.'

Abortion is part of being a mother and of caring for children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it's not a good idea to bring them into the world.

All duality is a mind creation all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.

I like producing beats, and I like rapping, too. I have a program for the PC, and I can hook my keyboard to it.

The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.

I think anybody who's had an alcoholic in their life, or somebody with a drug problem, realizes that until things get bad enough, there's no incentive to change.

Seeing my child born is so much more important than anything else I've got going on.

We need to ask who is the enemy, and the enemies are terrorists.

high heels are pleasure with the pain.

I don't think I've had love at first sight. But, I've definitely had moments where I've seen a person, and I'm like, 'Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.'

The idea of a stag hunt evokes chivalry - knights in jerkins and hose, ladies on sidesaddles with wimples and billowing dresses, a white stag symbolizing something-or-other, and Robin Hood getting in the way. An actual stag hunt is more like a horseback meeting of a county planning commission.

A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare.
