“You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race”

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

Never bored, so I’ll never get old.

I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

I can ask for cigarettes in every language.

There’s a terror in knowing what the world is about.

You can’t stand still on one point for your entire life.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

I don’t have stylistic loyalty. That’s why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

It’s only forever, Not long at all.

I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

In my madness I see your face in mine.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.

Even when we lose control of everything around us, we still have control over our thoughts.

Let’s get loose with Compassion. Let’s drown in the delicious ambience of Love.

Imagine for a minute yourself in the same shoes, the same sense of survival and the same nothing to lose.

This love is a game and, darling, the truth is we’ll both lose in the end.

Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit. You never really cancel the fear of losing; you keep challenging it.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don’t ever want to lose that.

I didn’t lose. I won a new beginning.

I’m at the top of my game so, when I win or lose, I don’t freak out…I don’t think we can call it a rivalry yet. There’s just to many great players around.
