“I’m not going to talk like I know about politics, because I’m a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren’t normally interested in politics.”

What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there’s more they don’t know.

Maybe I’ll be a feminist in my old age.

Maybe it’s just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it’s always going to be there.

In business, you try to solve problems.

I try not to be either optimistic or pessimistic. I try not to think about outcomes on that scale. My job, it seems to me, is to wake up every morning and figure out how to cause as much trouble for the fossil fuel industry as I can.

You’re a coward if you don’t stand up. Not for you, but for women. Say something.

I’m no buddhist, but this is fu**ing enlightmentment

I am my own person. What I’m doing, I’m happy with it. I’m doing what I want to.

I’ve always had as many powerful, creative ladies in my life as I have men, and you could probably describe some of those relationships as romantic.

Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature – it’s the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.

Politics is still the No. 1 sport in town and the scoreboard shows the U.S. attorney’s office leading.

I never want to know the range of my voice. It has to be impulsive, and I don’t want to kill the mystery.

Every time there’s a new format, the iron is hot, and you can mold it.

It seems that most the world is driven by the eye, right? They design cities to look great but they always sound horrible …

Formats are just illusions, and it’s about the relationship between the person that makes music and the person that listens to music.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It’s an emergency.

Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn’t there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can’t.

You want to know what I want? I’ll tell you what I want. I want back what Bobby Fischer took with him when he disappeared.

You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There’s a lot of crap out there.

I don’t know who Little Richard is.

Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you’ve felt, that you have observed.

But you can’t realize, you can’t know what another person goes through.

We are all one – and if we don’t know it, we will learn it the hard way.

So basically, I don’t know what I’m talking about. But maybe I do.
