“Music conveys to us itself!”

Our life is endless in the way that our visual field is without limit.

Just improve yourself; that is the only thing you can do to better the world.

That of which we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence.

Religion as madness is a madness springing from irreligiousness.

When we can’t think for ourselves, we can always quote.

If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.

It’s not how the world is, but that it is, that is cause for astonishment.

Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.

If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.

At the core of all well-founded beliefs lies belief that is unfounded.

Nothing in the visual field allows you to infer that it is seen by an eye.

I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.

How small a thought it takes to fill a life.

Tell them I’ve had a wonderful life.

Ideas too sometimes fall from the tree before they are ripe.

What can be shown, cannot be said.

I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.

The whole point of music is being able to share your story.

From a very young age I had an ambition to be a musician, and to do that professionally. That’s what I pursued until I was about 20, playing in bands that were taken pretty seriously at that stage.

I’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.

In the music industry, there’s often a lot of egos and people aren’t always very supportive, but we cheer each other on and we push each other to be better.

I’ve never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
